Three football programs won't play in 2015 season - Colorado High School Activities Association

Three schools have been forced to not field their football teams for the 2015 season due to low numbers.

Deer Trail (6-man), Prairie (6-man) and Longmont Christian (8-man) will all not play this season, according to CHSAA assistant commissioner Harry Waterman, who oversees football. As they decided to not field their programs prior to the season, their opponents will receive a bye on the date they were scheduled to play. Teams also have the option to schedule another opponent.

As of Friday morning, those are the only programs that have notified the CHSAA office they won’t be playing this season. The 2015 season begins on Aug. 27 with Zero Week.

If any further programs decide to not play prior to Aug. 27, their opponents will receive a bye, as well. However, if a team stops play after the season has begun, they will forfeit their remaining scheduled games to their opponents.

Prairie went 4-4 last season, Deer Trail was 0-8, and Longmont Christian finished 0-9.
