App State cancels football game against Liberty in North Carolina after Helene causes flooding

Appalachian State’s home football game against Liberty in Boone, North Carolina, scheduled for Saturday was canceled because of the impacts of severe weather on the area from Tropical Storm Helene. The school announced the game would not be rescheduled. Heavy rain in the North Carolina mountains brought flooding to Boone and the town was under a state of emergency. Also in North Carolina, the East Tennessee State football team was unable to finish its trip to Charleston, South Carolina, for its game against The Citadel, because of flash flooding. The team was spending the night in North Carolina.
