On Friday, the unofficial opener to the high school football season for the Mid-Prairie Golden Hawks was a no-go, as Mother Nature intervened before the Hawks could take the field against West Liberty. Activities for the night were slated to include a junior varsity scrimmage at 6:45 followed by a joint practice and varsity scrimmage but Severe Thunderstorm Warnings for Muscatine County beginning  just around the scheduled start time derailed any chance to see action at Memorial Field. Due to the nature of the event and the start of the season this week, it will not be rescheduled.

Mid-Prairie officially opens their season this Friday with another road trip, this time to Bill Nelson Field, to battle the West Burlington Notre Dame Falcons in Week one. Catch all of the action live on AM 1380, FM 102.5 and KCIIradio.com, beginning with the Washington HyVee Pregame Show at 6:30 and kickoff at 7p.m.
