ALEXANDRIA, Ky. (AP) - A small high school in northern Kentucky
has canceled a football game after a player was diagnosed with
swine flu.
Bishop Brossart school officials told the Kentucky Enquirer on
Wednesday that it would cancel Friday's game at Elizabethtown due
to a player having a confirmed case of the illness. Brossart
principal Richard Stewart says other players on the team have
similar symptoms.
Stewart says one of his main concerns is that players would be
in a confined area for an extended time. He says he didn't "want
to put a bunch of sick kids on a bus and send them all the way down
and all the way back."
Brossart, in Alexandria, has 374 students and its football team
is in Class 1A, Kentucky's smallest.
