Friday’s football game between Montgomery Catholic and Saraland has been canceled. Both schools have been in constant contact with each other since Monday regarding the development of a hurricane in the Gulf.

The mutual decision between both schools is the result of a variety of factors. Bottom line, the risk of uncontrolled circumstances negatively impacting preparation, travel, and gameplay is too great for either team to risk. The non-region contest will not be made up this season as both teams prepare for region championship contention and the state playoffs. Next year’s matchup will remain on the schedule and will be hosted at Saraland High School.

While our two schools may remain largely unaffected by Hurricane Helene, our greater school communities and families will certainly feel the effects. Our thoughts and prayers remain with all those in the path of the storm.
