UPDATE As we continue to monitor the radar, and after conversations between both school administrations and the IHSA officials, we are still planning to resume the Varsity Football game. We are hoping to potentially have the players back on the field between 9:20 and 9:30.

We are currently in a weather delay at GK. We are monitoring and plan on getting this game in tonight. Stay tuned for updates. #BePurple
