Diboll football game canceled, students sent home with COVID-19 symptoms

[TexasTowelie]

The Diboll Lumberjacks' athletic season has been postponed for at least a week after various student-athletes and other members of the student body experienced symptoms that could be related to COVID-19.

The Diboll football team was scheduled to play Woodville on Friday night, but that game has been canceled, along with Thursday night's JV games.

In addition, the Lady Jacks' volleyball game against Warren, which was scheduled for Friday, also was canceled.

Diboll head coach and athletic director Blake Morrison confirmed the cancellations early Wednesday afternoon, and superintendent Vicki Thomas later released a statement in regards to the school and the student-athletes.

1. That happened in my rube state. We need to get away from that Friday

night football junk anyway. I’m somewhat facetious, knowing it’s big in a lot of places. It was when I was a teen too, and I enjoyed that time of year.
