Newbury Park Football Coach and Athletic Coordinator George Hurley said all Marmonte League games except for Agoura-Royal (Saturday) are still scheduled to be played Friday. However, he warned that could change if the four separate school districts which govern the eight Marmonte League schools decide to make changes on Friday.

Hurley also said all the league’s coaches and ADs have decided all games will either be played or canceled so that one team will not have an advantage over another.

Still, the situation is constantly changing. At 8 a.m., Hurley was notified by Conejo Valley Unified School District officials that he could hold his first, full outdoor practice this week. By 9 a.m., district officials limited it to an outdoor walk-through.

All other Marmonte League teams are holding outside practices as well.

‘It’ll be good to finally get out there,’ Hurley said. ‘You can’t really practice kickoffs in the cafeteria.’

All Marmonte League freshman games have been postponed until Friday, according to Hurley, who said Newbury Park’s freshman team will play at 2 p.m. as part of a football triple-header.
