Undefeated 1A Southwood is out of the tourney because of COVID.
WABASH, Ind. (WANE) โ Southwood will go down in the record books as not having lost a single game in 2020 โ their only loss, as it were, came against the pandemic.
Southwood has been ruled out of postseason play due to a COVID situation that will cause all members of the Knights football program to quarantine for the next 14 days.
Head coach Dave Snyder spoke with WANE-TV sports director Glenn Marini on Tuesday night. Snyder said he was emotional when contacting his players โ who were not allowed to meet face-to-face โ to break the news.
Southwood was 9-0 in the regular season and ranked 3rd in the stateโs latest 1A poll. The Knights were set to open sectional play this Friday at home against rival Northfield in a game that was to be featured on the Highlight Zone as one of the areaโs best match-ups.
