FRIEND, Neb. (AP) - Two small Nebraska schools have canceled this weekend's football game because nearly half of 1 team is sick with the flu.

The Friend Bulldogs decided to cancel the game against Wilber-Clatonia after several of their players became ill this week.

The game against the Wolverines won't be made up.
