Graham Local Schools Superintendent Chad Lensman said the game was “suspended” in partnership with the sheriff’s office due to a potential threat in the county.
“This was done out of precaution and the game is planned to resume tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. We appreciated the community’s cooperation and the orderly evacuation of the stadium,” Lensman said.
A Champaign County Sheriff’s deputy told News Center 7’s Malik Patterson that they received reports of a “dangerous” person in the area and evacuated the stadium as a precaution.
After searching the area, authorities didn’t find the “dangerous” person, and no one was taken into custody.
