Due to low numbers
Two Indiana High School have cancelled their 2018 football season due to the lack of numbers, Hammond Noll and Wood Memorial. Now a local team has done the same.
In a statement Wednesday afternoon Trimble Co. announced they too have cancelled their season.
It is with a heavy heart that I must announce the cancellation of the 2018-19 football season for the JV/Varsity level, due to low player interest and turnout at beginning of season practices. The timing of this decision has been influenced by KHSAA requirements involving player transfer and cancellations of seasons. We greatly regret that we will not have a football program this year, and look forward to the possibilities of reestablishing the program in the future.

Trimble County Jr/Sr High School
