The Berkeley High football team was supposed to play a game at De Anza on Friday night, but the officials never showed up, forcing the teams to cancel the game. 

“I don’t know what happened. I’m not sure who’s at fault,” Berkeley head coach Matt Bissell said. “There were just no refs there.” 

Bissell said no one is quite sure what will happen to the game. The Yellowjackets have no open dates on their schedule until the end of the regular season, and playoffs start the next week. Berkeley does have one non-league game left on its schedule, an Oct. 19 date with Emery. 

“I don’t think there’s much of a protocol for this. Nobody really knows where to go from here,” he said. “Legally, you can’t play more than one game a week.” 

“It’s unfortunate for the kids, because you only get 10 games, and this was one of them.”
