Watseka High School announced (Wed) its varsity football team won’t play any further games the rest of the season. The Warriors were scheduled to play the Central Comets Friday in a classic county get-together. Scheduled opponents will be awarded a forfeit win.

The Warriors will continue to play a junior varsity only schedule. There’s four games left on the schedule. Watseka was 1-3 on the season. It’s lone win was a forfeit against Georgetown-Ridge Farm/Chrisman in week one.

“This was obviously a very tough decision to make for everyone involved,” Watseka athletic director Barry Bauer issued a statement, saying “it was difficult decision but we felt a necessary one, based on an abundance of season-ending injuries, low student participation, and numerous other contributing factors. The decision is in the best interest of the program and for the current athletes.”
