Middletown had been scheduled to visit Hamilton this weekend, according to the athletic website. Hamilton announced it had changed its schedule to play Dublin Jerome on Thursday.
After initially calling off sports and extracurricular activities in the summer, Middletown started its football season on Sept. 4. The Middies lost in the first round of the postseason after a shortened regular season, and teams bounced from the playoffs were allowed to continue playing up to 10 regular-season games.
