Serra Catholic, which closed its school building for a couple of days this week, has also postponed its football team’s season opener.

The Eagles were scheduled to host Steel Valley on Friday.

Athletic director Bill Cleary announced the postponement Thursday.

Serra moved all students to online learning after two students tested positive for covid-19, the school confirmed Thursday. The school building will remain closed through Monday, Sept. 14, and all sports programs will be suspended through the weekend.

Serra Catholic is the fifth WPIAL team forced to postpone its opener. Kiski Area, Mt. Lebanon, Peters Township and Seneca Valley won’t play this weekend because of coronavirus concerns.
