Sioux County Kicks Off Season, Sort Of, In Chappell

Sioux County will get the honors of ushering in the Panhandle football season when they head to Chappell to take on McCool Junction in a scrimmage this afternoon.

McCool Junction was originally set to play Santee, but COVID-19 issues forced the cancellation of that contest and allowed for the Mustangs to look elsewhere.

Sioux County was set to have a bye week to start their season, but had also lost a game off their schedule when Guernsey-Sunrise, WY opted out of crossing the state line for their September 18th contest.

The Warriors are starting a rebuild year after making it to the state quarterfinals last season. The Mustangs are the top ranked 6-man team according to both the Omaha World Herald and Lincoln Journal Star.

Kickoff is slated for 1:00 pm.
