Wylie High School has suspended all football activities for two weeks.
The announcement comes after a positive COVID-19 case within the football program and will shut down all play for 14 days, effective Oct. 5, 2020. The Pirates were scheduled to play Lakeview Centennial Oct. 9, and Naaman Forest Oct. 15.
Wylie ISD released a statement following the announcement.
“Following a positive COVID-19 case within the Wylie High School football program, the district has suspended all football-related activities for 14 days, effective today, October 5, 2020.
