MUNCIE, Ind. — Week 2 was shaping up to be the first week when all nine of our area football teams played. That is, until Monroe Central's game against Union City was canceled hours before kick due to a positive COVID-19 case among a member of the Golden Bears coaching staff.
Still, the games went on. On Friday, both Delta and Yorktown earned impressive victories while Wes-Del came up just short in a single score game.
