In regard to the Bridgeport High School football team, the update means that Saturday's scheduled Class AAA quarterfinal game against Martinsburg is now officially a forfeit for the Indians, sending them into next week's semifinals.

 

BHS, which is the No. 5 seed is scheduled to play top-seeded Cabell Midland, however Cabell being orange at 5 p.m. Saturday means that the Indians and Knights can't play until Sunday (Nov. 29) at the earliest. Cabell County will have until 5 p.m. next Saturday (Nov. 28) to get to gold, yellow or green on the WVDE map to be able to play on Sunday.
