Section V football faces team mergers and canceled seasons ahead of scrimmages

Summary

As the Section V high school football season nears its kickoff on August 28, changes are underway due to low roster numbers. Mynderse Academy has arranged for 12 of its players to join the Waterloo Tigers for the fall season, which will compete in Class B. Additionally, the Wilson/Early College Wildcats have canceled their season before it began, citing insufficient player participation. These developments affect schedules in the Wayne-Finger Lakes League and Rochester City Athletic Conference. Scrimmages across Section V are set for this weekend, with multiple teams scheduled to participate.
