Fall season delayed

edit

On August 7, 2020, the Lone Star Conference postponed fall competition for several sports due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1][2] A few months later in January 2021, the conference announced that there will be no spring conference competition in football.[3] Teams that opt-in to compete would have to schedule on their own.
