(Cassopolis, MI) - The high school football season ended early for a school in southern Michigan.

On Thursday Cassopolis Public School officials issued a letter to parents explaining the situation. Apparently, injuries so far this season have taken a toll on the roster, and continuing to play games would put remaining athletes at greater risk. The team was loaded with freshmen and low on upperclassmen, many of whom had been sidelined with injuries.

With two regular-season games left, the team was 1-5, having won its first and only game last week.

On Friday night, Cassopolis Ross Beatty High School held an “end of season” ceremony to honor seniors and give the band one last chance to perform.
