For the second straight week in North Dakota, a high school team had to forfeit a playoff game due to COVID-19.
Oakes made the announcement on social media on Tuesday.
The playoff game against Langdon Sat. 10/31 has been cancelled due to COVID-19. This means the end of the Oakes Tornadoes’ Football season. Good luck to Langdon & the remaining teams as they continue on in the playoffs. Congrats to Tornado Football on another incredible season!

The Tornadoes were scheduled to play at Langdon Area/Edmore/Munich in the quarterfinals of the Class A football playoffs on Saturday.
Oakes will finish with a 7-2 record while the Cardinals will host the winner of Bishop Ryan and Shiloh Christian.
St. John had to forfeit their game in the 9-man first round last week against LaMoure/Litchville-Marion due to COVID-19 as well.
Playoff football is scheduled to continue in the state this Friday and Saturday.
