Minerva High School’s Sept. 2 varsity football game against Beaver Local High School has been canceled due to a spike in COVID-19 cases between the Lions’ team and staff.

The Minerva athletic department also reported a significant increase in sickness between the players and coaches, with all in-person practices being shut down for the team.

Beaver Local posted an announcement of the game’s cancellation on Tuesday, as well as a search for a replacement opponent.
