The Itasca Wampus Cats are forfeiting the final four varsity football games of the 2025 season due to an overwhelming amount of players out with injury.
Itasca head coach Matt Fonville confirmed with Dave Campbell's Texas Football and also noted that they'd play a sub-varsity schedule the rest of the season.
"It's unfortunate but I have to do what's best for our program and our kids," he said.
The Wampus Cats, wo are currently 0-6, have 13 players currently out with injury. Of the 22 healthy players left in the program, 15 are either freshmen or sophomores.
Itasca, which has been outscored 256-28 this season, happens to be in the same district - 7-2A Division I - as Rio Vista, which is banned from the playoffs this season.
