The COVID precautions took another big bite out of the statewide football schedule this week and the Times area took its hit as well. Several area teams had games cancelled in Week 8, the last of the current season. Still, seven area teams took the field to wrap their 2020 seasons. Menawhile, two others, Steinert and Hamilton, are prepared to play each other in their traditional Thanklsgiving Day game this coming Thursday.
