Thursday night's high school football season opener between Pueblo and Sahuaro has been postponed due to COVID-19 protocols.

The matchup was one of two Thursday night games in Southern Arizona as part of the 11th annual Coaches for Charity Kickoff event. The postponement was confirmed in a press release sent out Tuesday morning by the event organizers.

The Pueblo-Sahuaro tilt has been rescheduled for Oct. 29.

The other Thursday night game involving Flowing Wells at Amphi is still scheduled to take place as planned at 7 p.m.

Both Sahuaro and Pueblo will now open their respective seasons on Sept. 10. The Cougars travel to Phoenix Arcadia and the Warriors play at Rincon/University.Β
