The 2021 Urbana High School football season is over.
The News-Gazette is reporting that Urbana is cancelling its final eight varsity games. First-year Urbana head coach Edmund Jones told the newspaper that his team was very young.
“Of about a 32-, 33-man roster, I probably had 18 freshmen. Of the 18 freshmen, probably 13 of them had never played football before.”
