By: Matt Rothman

Week seven of the high school football season was supposed to feature several must-watch games, but after numerous COVID-19 positive tests, a pair of teams postponed their games.

On Thursday, Coral Springs High School was scheduled to play Deerfield Beach, but the Colts moved their game back to Monday, October 18, for precautionary measures.

Marjory Stoneman Douglas, who started the season of 2-0, continues to go through adversity. After losing multiple starters to injuries, positive COVID-19 tests postponed their game against West Boca Raton High School. 

The Eagles are expected to return to practice on Monday and play their next game against South Plantation High School on Friday, October 22.
