Just hours after the Michigan High School Athletic Association announced that the fall football season would be canceled and moved to the spring, a local youth league followed suit.
The Howell Area Junior Football League announced that it was canceling its fall season, as well. The league posted it on its Facebook page:
Due to today’s MHSAA announcement, the 2020 Howell junior football and cheer season has been cancelled. We share your disappointment. We are hopeful to have a spring season, but there are many details to be worked out between now and then. Stay tuned.
These kids needed this and I feel it was way premature to make that call. Everyone worked really hard for a week worth of practice just to be disappointed by the call. However, I understand the reasons! but they could have waited and allowed this kids to have some outside fun. This 2020 season has been a bad one for children that don’t quite understand and it’s majorly disappointing.
