Football: Flintridge Prep cancels game vs. Campbell Hall

| | Comments (0) |

Flintridge Prep coach Antonio Harrison said a small roster riddled with injuries has led to the cancellation of Saturday's game against Campbell Hall at Occidental College.

"Our boys want to play and are willing to go out there for me, for their teammates, and for themselves," Harrison said. "No one ever wants to have to cancel a game when the boys have worked so hard. However, with multiple injuries as a result of a small roster from last week, we are currently down to a 12 to 13 man roster with one of the boys being our kicker.

"My first duty as a head coach is to have a concern for these boys safety and well-being. As competitive as I am, I am not an idiot. It was an extremely tough decision to make but I want these boys to be healthy and at least have a fighting chance as we head towards league play. As of now, we plan on playing the Malibu game on Oct. 1 and plan on playing out the rest of the season. But in our current state, we just don't have the manpower to play another team. Not just Campbell Hall, but any team."
