The Harford Tech High School football program has resumed practicing this week and will play its scheduled home game against Edgewood on Friday while an investigation into a recent incident involving members of the team continues, Harford County Public Schools spokesperson Jillian Lader told The Aegis on Monday.

Lader did not share details of the ongoing investigation that began last Tuesday. The investigation forced the team’s game on Thursday against Elkton and practices leading up to the contest to be canceled.

Lader told The Aegis last week that the investigation is limited to the football program and that she did not expect the remainder of the team’s season to be canceled because of it. She did not answer additional questions regarding the status of the investigation, the nature of what prompted it or any findings from it so far.

Edgewood coach Ken Brinkman, whose team won Friday with Harford Tech coach Brad Hunt in attendance to watch his next scheduled opponent, told The Aegis last week he had not been told about a change in the status of the upcoming matchup.

Harford Tech principal Erin Mock, in a message sent to parents last Tuesday and obtained by The Aegis, said, “I want our families to know that we take every incident very seriously and are conducting a thorough investigation, cooperating thoroughly with our [school resource officer], law enforcement partners and Child Protective Services.”

In another message the next day, Mock told parents that Harford Tech’s upcoming game would be canceled “due to the ongoing investigation into the recent incident involving students on our football teams.”

Harford Tech opened the season with a 36-21 loss to Aberdeen. Edgewood is 2-0 on the season with victories over Bel Air and Aberdeen.
