JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Hurricane Idalia is throwing the high school football schedule for a loop.
Numerous area schools have canceled, postponed or shuffled their Week 2 games due to the approaching storms. Several Duval County games that had been postponed or rescheduled had been put back on the schedule for Friday night, only to have the pause button pressed again. On Wednesday, DCPS said it would tentatively have games back for Friday night with the exception of three games that had been canceled or postponed.

Hurricane and storm cancellations are typical in Florida. Last year, Hurricane Ian in September scrambled the football schedule, and Hurricane Nicole did the same during Week 1 of the playoffs last November.
In a release sent to schools, the Florida High School Athletic Association said it expected the storm to cause disruptions to the athletic schedule.
“Idalia will likely cause cancellations or the rescheduling of events. As a result, we are granting each school authorization to adjust their schedule as necessary. While there is no need to request approval from our office, staff will be available to assist by phone or email with any questions as weather permits. Please follow your school or district protocol while keeping in mind your opponent’s school/district protocol to ensure both teams are on the same page,” the release said.
