East Lee misses spring game
Bishop Verot’s spring football game against East Lee County was canceled Thursday night after a hazardous substance situation forced the evacuation of East Lee County High School earlier Thursday.
Several students and staff were transported from the Lehigh school to area hospitals for examination.
Verot, which was scheduled to host the game at Viking Stadium, decided to play an intrasquad scrimmage. The game with East Lee County is not expected to be rescheduled.
“They were unable to get into the building to get their equipment — for reasons beyond their control,” Vikings coach/athletic director Phil Dorn said. “It would’ve been questionable, at best, to try and schedule (for Friday) without knowing the specifics.”
