UVA Football Cancels Virginia Tech Game In Wake Of Shooting
UVA Football Virginia Tech Game Canceled ... In Wake Of Shooting
The UVA vs. Virginia Tech game has been canceled ... in wake of the tragic shooting on the Cavaliers' campus earlier this month.
The ACC made the ruling late Monday evening, saying the Nov. 26 matchup will not go down as planned ... after UVA players Devin Chandler, Lavel Davis Jr. and D'Sean Perry were shot and killed on a bus after returning from a class field trip on Nov. 13.
According to the conference, ACC officials and both Virginia schools had a say in the decision.
"The ACC and Virginia Tech continue to support UVA following the devastating tragedy, which resulted in the deaths of three members of the Cavalier football team -- Devin Chandler, Lavel Davis Jr. and D'Sean Perry, and injuries to students Mike Hollins (also a Virginia football student-athlete) and Marlee Morgan."
This is the second game that's been canceled since the tragic incident -- last weekend's UVA vs. Coastal Carolina contest was also called off.
Both UVA and Virginia Tech's seasons are now over.
Members of the UVA community have continued to throw their support behind the school as it heals -- in the NFL, the Washington Commanders wore helmet decals on Sunday to honor the victims, while Chiefs safety Juan Thornhill donned tribute cleats.
