SHARON — The District 10 Class AA football quarterfinal game between Sharon and Girard has been postponed after tragedy struck the Tigers late Friday night.

“Late Friday night there was a car accident involving 4 Sharon High School football players. At this time, 2 of the students are known to have been killed. The two other students have been taken to an area hospital.

Because of this very tragic accident, the Sharon-Girard Playoff football game scheduled for Saturday November 9th has been cancelled.
