Unfortunately, due to COVID-related issues, player injuries, and participation numbers with conference schools and within our own program, the Havana High School football season will end abruptly with the cancellation of the remaining games this season - Varsity @ BPC on 4/16 cancelled, JV at home vs. BPC on 4/19 cancelled, and Varsity at home vs. A-Town on 4/23 cancelled. We hope that next season will be a better and more normal year for the coaches, athletes, families, and fans. Go Ducks!

High School Varsity football scheduled for 4/23 at home has been cancelled. Due to multiple reasons, our opponent for week six, A-Town, has decided to end their season and move on to the normal Spring sports seasons of baseball and track. Havana will not be looking for an opponent to make this game up and will officially end their season with a varsity game on 4/16 at BPC/WP and then with a JV game on 4/19 at home. After those two games, athletes involved in spring sports can begin those seasons without overlap.
