Long Prairie-Grey Eagle High School will be forfeiting their remaining varsity football games that are scheduled effective October 7, 2025. The Thunder Football team will also not participate in this year's Section Playoffs. While there will not be the scheduled Varsity games, they will be playing Benson's JV Football Team on Wednesday, October 15, 2025 at 7:00pm at Thunder Stadium. There will be tailgating starting at 6:00pm, and have the JFK Dance Performance during halftime. Student-Athletes were informed of this decision during the week of September 29 with parents notified shortly after. Due to multiple injuries, LPGE would only have 11 healthy and available student-athletes in grades 9-12 with 8 of them being freshman for the Oct. 10 game vs. BBE. LPGE are hopeful that some of our athletes will return for the Benson JV Game. Out of an abundance of caution and concern for students safety, the administration and coaching staff have made the difficult decision to end the varsity season early.
