The late start to the high school football season will be even later for the Camden Bulldogs.

Two positive COVID-19 tests within the Bulldog team has forced next week's season opener against Lakewood to be moved to October 30.

This week's Bulldog Bash jamboree had been cancelled after a player on the varsity level tested positive for the coronavirus. A player on the junior varsity level has since tested positive.

DHEC recommends a 14-day quarantine period from the time starting with the last exposure, so it's unclear exactly when Camden will kick off the 2020 season.

Swansea's season opener with Strom Thurmond won't be played because players with Strom Thurmond have been quarantined after possibly being exposed to COVID-19.
