Sun Valley Shutdown Football activities
Last Friday night for the second week in a row the Sun Valley Vanguards saw their scheduled football game be cancelled. The Vanguards October 17 game at Oxford was cancelled due to a COVID issue at Oxford. The Vanguards were able to filled the void with a game against Ephrata that the Vanguards dropped 23-6. Then last Friday the Vanguards scheduled game vs Kennett was also cancelled this time due to a COVID Situation at Sun Valley. Because of the Chester County Department of Health mandated 14 day shut down of the program this week’s contest at West Chester Henderson has been cancelled. This week was scheduled to be the final game of the season for the Vangaurds. Coach Greg Bernhardt is hoping that they will be able to schedule at least one more game.
