Jacobs’ season ends because of COVID-19-related protocols

Jacobs’ varsity football team will miss the remainder of its season because of COVID-19-related protocols, Jacobs athletic director Joe Benoit said Tuesday.

The Golden Eagles were scheduled to play Friday at Prairie Ridge and the following week in a Fox Valley Conference crossover bowl game. Jacobs was coming off two straight wins against Dundee-Crown and Burlington Central.

The Eagles finish the season 2-2 under interim head coach Brian Zimmerman. As of Tuesday, only Jacobs’ varsity football team has been affected.
