The Mattoon Breakers (JFL) announced on Facebook tonight that they will not be moving on with the 2020 season. Here is the official announcement:
“After several conversations between the city of Mattoon and our JFL board, it was officially decided today that we will not be moving forward with the 2020 season. Our program has always put the safety of our players first and this is one of those times we must make the unpopular decision. It weights heavy on our hearts as we know the love, passion and emotion that the players put into the game of football and our program. It saddens us too, but the comfort is in knowing that all of our JFL players can and hopefully will return next year. To the 8th grade players, we understand the disappointment in not being able to participate in this last year of our program, but know, we will all be in those stands cheering you on in high school, next year. Stay safe and GO BREAKERS!”
