Davis High football coach Tim Garcia was scrambling to find an opponent after his team’s scheduled game against Lathrop was canceled late Thursday afternoon due to a positive COVID-19 test.

After a tireless search, Garcia confirmed Friday morning the Spartans (0-1) will travel to Union City to face James Logan (1-0) at 7 p.m.

Contract-tracing was done and Lathrop’s team is now in quarantine.

It was the first Stanislaus District cancellation this year due to COVID-19; every game scheduled for Week 1 was played.
