You could hear it in Kevin Renie’s voice when he appeared Thursday morning on ‘From the Bench’ on GIANT fm WROI. 

There's disappointment, maybe even fatigue, from Wednesday’s decision to cancel the annual football clash between Rochester and Tippecanoe Valley due to Covid issues with the Zebras football program.

Most sports leave open the chance to reschedule a game.  Football doesn’t.  That left scenarios to find a way around the dilemma few and far between.

The Rochester athletic director says a lot of effort and planning and the community feeling around the game are now lost.

Fortunately, at least, he decision to cancel Friday’s football game is isolated to that one event.
