MELLETTE – Northwestern has decided to forfeit its football game against Leola-Frederick on Friday.
According to Northwestern athletic director Nora Groft, the Wildcats do not have enough healthy players to compete in the contest. The squad has 19 players out for the sport, but about half of them are out with injuries.
The Wildcats have just one game remaining on their schedule. After a bye next week, Northwestern will conclude its regular season with a game at Faulkton on Oct. 18.
The middle school game between Northwestern and Leola-Frederick will still take place.
