The Brownsville at Mt. Pleasant football game scheduled for Friday night has been canceled and will be ruled a no contest by the WPIAL.

Brownsville told Mt. Pleasant it does not have enough players to compete due to covid-19 concerns.

No. 4-ranked Mt. Pleasant will not pursue another opponent on late notice for Friday night or Saturday, athletic director Chris Brunson said. The Vikings (4-2, 2-0) will wait until next week to play when they travel to No. 5 Elizabeth Forward for a key Class 3A Interstate Conference game.

Brownsville is 0-5 overall and 0-3 in conference play.
