CENTREVILLE — The Centreville Academy Tigers were scheduled to travel to Clinton, Louisiana, to take on Silliman Institute Wildcats Friday night, but because Louisiana is still in Phase 2 of its COVID-19 reopening, that game has been canceled.

Centreville Academy (1-1) will have an extra week of practice to prepare for its next game — at Brookhaven Academy with kickoff at 7 p.m. on Sept. 11.

Centreville was hoping to build on its momentum after a hard-fought 38-28 win at home over Bowling Green School last Friday night.

Silliman Institute has yet to play a game this season while some of Louisiana’s 14 MAIS schools have decided to travel to Mississippi to play games.

Franklin County High School, Jefferson County and Wilkinson County Christian Academy all have home football games on Friday.

Here’s what you need to know about each of the three games.

Kickoff is at 7 p.m. on Friday at Franklin County High School.
