A varsity football game was canceled after several athletes at Bellaire High School were confirmed to have staph infections. The school notified parents by email earlier in the week. As a result, the game against Lamar High School did not take place at Delmar Stadium on Friday night, despite the lights being on and the field being ready.

The situation was severe enough that some staff members at the school were taking precautions, wearing gloves and masks. However, it appears that not all students were taking similar measures. A parent reported learning about the severity of the situation after visiting the campus.

Further details about the staph outbreak and its impact are available, including information for parents and students.
