A COVID outbreak within the Stetson football program this week forced the cancellation of Saturday’s home game against Drake.
Stetson (0-2), which opened the 2021 spring football season with a pair of Pioneer League losses to Davidson (26-20) and Morehead State (31-14), made the decision after discussions with Drake and Pioneer League officials Thursday night.
“Obviously, we are disappointed we are not able to play the game,” Hatters’ head coach Roger Hughes said in a statement released by the school. “However, player safety is our number one priority and our actions always reflect our diligence in keeping our players and staff safe and healthy.
