FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Beaverton High School Cancels Home Varsity Football Game Against Harrison Due to Injuries; JV to Play Away
BEAVERTON, MI — September 14, 2026 — Beaverton High School athletic officials announced today the cancellation of the upcoming home varsity football game against Harrison High School, originally scheduled to be played at Beaverton on Friday, September 18.
The decision was made due to a depleted varsity roster caused by a high number of student-athlete injuries. School administrators and the coaching staff determined that the varsity team cannot safely field the minimum number of healthy players required for a matchup this weekend.
The primary goal of the cancellation is to give sidelined varsity players the proper window to rest and recover so that Beaverton can safely and competitively complete the remainder of the 2026 season.
The junior varsity (JV) game against Harrison will still be played as originally scheduled on Thursday, September 17. Kickoff is set for 6:00 PM away at Harrison High School, and the athletic department encourages fans to travel and support the JV squad.
"The safety, health, and long-term well-being of our student-athletes will always be our absolute top priority," said the Beaverton Athletic Department. "While we are incredibly disappointed for our varsity players, coaches, and fans, this difficult step is necessary to allow our team time to heal. We are grateful that our JV student-athletes still have the opportunity to compete this week, and we extend our sincere appreciation to Harrison High School, the Jack Pine Conference, and the Beaverton community for their understanding and continued support."
Information regarding ticket refunds or vouchers for the canceled home varsity game will be released by the athletic department later this week.
Thank you for understanding.
