SYLACAUGA, Ala. – Sylacauga was set to host Elmore County High School for its annual homecoming game Friday night. Now, due to COVID-19, the game has been canceled and will not be rescheduled.

Though the football game itself has been canceled, all other Homecoming activities will continue throughout the week. The introduction of the Homecoming Court and crowning of Miss Homecoming will take place at the Thursday night community pep rally at Legion Stadium. The event begins at 6:30 p.m on Oct. 1.
