CORRECTION: NO “VOTE” on Football Forfeit

Tanner Mauk

A caption on a photo that ran with a story posted Tuesday implied football team captains had voted on the decision to play or forfeit this Friday’s game against DCG. To clarify, no vote was taken; rather, captains were asked to describe what they’re thinking about the game.

According to athletic director Matt Alexander, there was not a vote to decide whether the game would be played or not. The meeting was held to let Alexander gather information about the situation so he could make his decision with the background knowledge of how the team felt about it. There was never a time where the decision was going to be made by the votes of the captains.

The game on Friday will still be played in Dallas-Center Grimes at 7 p.m.
