COVID-19 Outbreaks Means New Opponent For Lakewood Football

LAKEWOOD, OH — COVID-19 threw a wrench into the Lakewood High football program's plans this week.

The team's scheduled game against Normandy High was canceled after the Parma-based high school suffered an outbreak of COVID-19. The school was unable to field a team for Friday, prompting Lakewood athletic officials to scramble for a new opponent.

Luckily, Lakewood secured a new foe for Friday night football — the Lucas High School Cubs.
