The coronavirus pandemic has taken-down another longtime Turkey Day high school football rivalry. The 98th annual Northampton/Catasauqua high school football game won’t be played Thursday morning.
Officials from both schools decided to cancel the game due to “an increase in COVID-19 cases among students and staff in both districts, a substantial level of community transmission in Northampton and Lehigh counties.”
“This has been a difficult decision, but the health and safety for our students, coaches and families inevitably causes us to err in protection of all involved as well as the health and well-being of our greater communities.”
Joint news release from Northampton and Catasauqua Schools
Last week, officials from Easton (Pennsylvania) and Phillipsburg (New Jersey) announced the cancellation of their annual Thanksgiving Day game due to COVID-19.
