The shortage of available game officials is impacting and adjusting high school football schedules statewide.

That seems to be the case locally as two more games have been shifted to Thursday, making it three total. The preseason slate had all of the local contests set for Friday night lights.

It’s likely these late changes will continue through much of the fall.
