It was announced on Tuesday that the Aug. 26 season opening high school football game between ACGC and Greene County would not be played on that date and it wouldn’t be played in Jefferson. The sod on parts of Linduska Field in Jefferson aren’t ready to be played on after the crown on the field was lowered and new sod installed. The first game of the year will now be played at Ogden High School at 7 p.m. on Saturday, August 27 with the Rams hosting the Chargers at the neutral site.

Activities Director Dave Wright talked with Raccoon Valley Radio about why Ogden was chosen to host the contest. “I started reaching out to some area schools and wanted to keep the game as close to Jefferson as we could. Ogden was really welcoming to us, they wanted to work with us, and it’s been great!”

Wright added that until Linduska Field is ready to host games, the Rams will play home games below the varsity level on Karber Field in Grand Junction.
