Edgewater took to social media to try to find another opponent to play Friday, but came up empty handed.
Bishop Moore school officials said “all games and practices will be cancelled until further notice.”
It is not known if the person who tested positive was on the football team or was a staff member.
The team last played Leesburg High School in a game last Friday.

“If an effort to keep you informed, we have quarantined the varsity and junior varsity football teams due to a positive COVID-19 case. This week’s game against Edgewater is cancelled.
