McDade cuts football season short

MCDADE — A lack of available athletes has forced McDade High School leaders to cancel the rest of its varsity football season. 

The Bulldogs, who went winless through their first three games, announced Sept. 24 they would pull the plug on the final seven contests of their District 13-2A Division II schedule. Head coach Jonathan Wells said just 13 healthy players remained on the roster, including nine freshmen. 

“My job is to sell the program and convince kids that we can be successful,” Wells said.
