App State football announced the postponement of its game scheduled against Louisiana for Oct. 7 Thursday, due to positive COVID-19 tests. The program made this decision in consultation with Chancellor Sheri Everts, AppHealthCare and the Sun Belt Conference.
“While we are disappointed that we will not be able to play Louisiana next week, we are prioritizing the health and safety of our team, our staff and the university community,” head coach Shawn Clark said in a press release.
All those with active COVID-19 cases are recovering in isolation. Contact tracing has identified close contacts who are now required to quarantine.
