GALION — The Galion High School football team kicks off the 2020 season Friday night with a scrimmage against Tiffin Columbian at Unckrich Stadium in Heise Park at 7 p.m.
Fans can watch the scrimmage in its entirety live on the Galion City Schools’ YouTube channel, https://youtu.be/6Zi_aPXsZTw. The game will also be streamed to the Galion City Schools and Galion Tigers Athletics Facebook pages.
Gov. DeWine and the Ohio Department of Health released guidance Wednesday night about spectators at fall sports. Because of the extra work that needs to be done to prepare the facility for regular-season games, Galion City Schools has made the decision to not allow spectators into the stadium Friday night.
“Unfortunately, we won’t be able to allow any fans into the stadium because we won’t be able to follow the guidance we received from the state,” Galion High School Athletics Director Kyle Baughn said. “Two days’ notice isn’t nearly enough time to prepare the stadium to comply with the many requirements outlined in order from the Ohio Department of Health and Governor DeWine.”
The Tigers kick off their regular season at River Valley on August 28.
