Junction City cancels tonight's game with Blytheville because of COVID issues

The Blytheville Chickasaws were scheduled to host Junction City on Friday night, but Junction City cancelled hours before the game because of COVID-19 issues.

The Chicks (1-2) were originally scheduled to play Cave City in the 4A-3 opener Friday night, but the Cavemen cancelled as well, leading to Blytheville scheduling the game with 2A power Junction City.

Blytheville is scheduled to host Westside at 7 p.m., Friday, Oct. 2 in what will be the Chicks’ first game in the 4A-3 conference.

Blytheville dropped to Class 4A this year.
