OAKES, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – For the second time in as many weeks, a high school football team had their season end, not on the field but in a laboratory. Due to COVID-19, the Oakes Tornadoes had their season end.

The Oakes Schools released this statement today:

“The football playoff game against Langdon scheduled for Saturday, October 31st, has been cancelled due to COVID-19. Unfortunately, this means the end of the Oakes Tornadoes’ Football season. We wish Langdon and the remaining teams good luck as they continue on in the playoffs. Congratulations to Tornado Football on another incredible season!”

Last week, the St. John’s Woodchucks had to forfeit their playoff game with LaMoure/Litchville-Marion because of COVID-19.

Oakes was to play the defending state champ and top seed Cardinals in Langdon on Saturday in the state quarterfinals. The Tornadoes end the season 7-1
