Tuesday afternoon, Murphysboro athletic director Len Novara announced that the Murphysboro football program was canceling games at all levels this week, including the varsity Homecoming game on Friday, due to the West Frankfort Redbirds forfeiting due to an extremely low number of eligible players.
The game will not be rescheduled and River Radio has been informed that the Red Devils are not currently seeking a new opponent for the week. Murphysboro improves to 5-1, 3-0 on the season. West Frankfort is now 1-5, 0-3.
