Cancellations

In other Carlton County prep football news, Barnum did not play this week and Moose Lake/Willow River will not play again this season as the team canceled its remaining games due to Covid-19 quarantine requirements.

As of Wednesday, when the Pine Knot News went to press, other Carlton County schools were still planning to finish the season, but that could change.
