  "account": "The final weeks of the high school football season are seeing multiple new games scheduled, as several teams have canceled contests due to injuries or lack of healthy players. Cedarville will host Riverside in a Division VII game on October 16, after Riverside's original opponent, Lehman Catholic, could not guarantee enough available players. Lehman Catholic has given permission to Riverside to find a new opponent if needed, in order to ensure Senior Night ceremonies can proceed on that date. Another new game was set for October 9, between Arcanum and Northeastern (Ind.), but Mississinawa Valley canceled its game with Arcanum due to insufficient healthy players. Mississinawa Valley has since canceled its game with Arcanum and also canceled its game with Catholic Central, citing the same reason. Twin Valley South and Catholic Central have also canceled at least one game each this season due to player availability concerns. Catholic Central has scheduled a reserve game against East Clinton on October 10, and has three other contests lined up, including a varsity and two reserve games, to replace the games they canceled. Greenon is without a game this Friday, as Catholic Central's cancelation has left them without a suitable opponent. Bethel and Lehman Catholic will play their game on Saturday, and Catholic Central's season finale is set for October 23 at Covington. Tri-County North is also looking for a potential new opponent on October 16, as a precautionary measure in case Mississinawa Valley cannot play their scheduled game. Mississinawa Valley's head coach Lane Manning resigned on September 30, and the team has since played a game against Preble Shawnee before canceling its game with Arcanum. Mississinawa Valley hopes to complete its season with games on October 16 and at home against Ansonia on October 23.",
