CHAPMANVILLE, WV (WOWK) – The virus has hit our local high school football scene hard and there is no end in sight.

Chapmanville head coach James Barker tweeted Tuesday, Sept. 29 the tigers have suspended all football activities until Oct. 5 after a player came into direct contact with a positive COVID-19 case.

This happened after the win over Logan County.

A football player(s) for CRHS has come into direct contact with a positive COVID-19 case. This contact occurred Saturday night, after our game with Logan High School. Out of the abundance of caution, CRHS is suspending football operations until Monday, October 5th.
