UAPB Football, Alabama State Cancelled Due To Weather

Saturday’s University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff football game against Alabama State was cancelled and ruled a no-contest due to weather in the area.

The game was called in the second quarter with UAPB trailing 10-3 with 6:12 to play in the second quarter. The initial game delay began at approximately 5:18 p.m. central time.

As the teams were set to begin warmups just after 7 p.m., another lightning strike hit as the teams were taking the field, leading to sirens going off in Jefferson County as the weather intensified into watches and warnings forecasted for later Saturday night.

UAPB returns to action next Saturday at Mississippi Valley State at 3 p.m., with a live video stream on the ESPN App and a live radio broadcast on 99.3 FM The Beat, online at uapblionsroar.com and on the UAPB Athletics App.
