The Thursday Night Lights football game that was scheduled to be Basic at Foothill has been changed because of positive COVID-19 tests in Foothill’s program.

Foothill considered “a limited number of players, practice time, and current and potential player injuries,” in dropping out of the game, according to a statement sent to parents and students from principal Jonathan Synold.

Basic will now host Cheyenne for the Thursday Night Lights game, which begins at 7 p.m.
