The game, originally set for Friday, will now take place on Wednesday, November 18 at 4 p.m. McMahon currently has only 12 healthy senior and junior players, with the remainder dealing with injuries or health issues. This postponement allows the team to focus on recovery and improve their readiness for their next match against Stamford on November 6. The McMahon football program has struggled recently, with a 1-5 record this season and a 5-5 mark last year. The team's only victory came against Bridgeport Central two weeks ago.",
