Friday night’s Jim Thorpe at Notre Dame-Green Pond football game has been postponed until 6 p.m. Monday in Easton because of contact tracing among the Crusaders, according to a release from the Allentown Diocese.

Coach Phil Stambaugh’s club is 4-0 this season. Mark Rosenberger’s Olympians are 2-2.

Logan Castellano (21) and his Notre Dame-Green Pond teammates will have to wait until Monday to play its Week 5 game against visiting Jim Thorpe, due to contact tracing at Notre Dame-GP.

The teams met in last year’s District 11 Class 3A playoffs, with Notre Dame-GP winning.

This is the third Colonial League-Schuylkill League game postponed this season. Earlier, Bangor at Blue Mountain and Northern Lehigh at Tamaqua were pushed back from Friday until Monday.

Panther Valley had its first two games canceled because of COVID.
