Friday Night Weather

[WestfieldRocks]

For yet another week, it looks like games could well be affected by thunderstorms. The remains of Hurricane Helene look to be on track to hit Indiana, especially southern Indiana. Rain and winds up to 30 mph as well as possible storms.

Although things don't look good, most fields have turf, so...

Not all though

Central Indiana it just shows heavy rain and strong winds. No thunderstorms. Should make it tough for those spread teams.

Dirt don't hurt.  Even wet dirt.

I seem to recall a couple of weeks ago when the remnants of a hurricane were suppose to drown us……

Looks like running will be at a premium (or selecting the right side of the field to go towards during the 4th quarter). This might be a week to choose the end of the field.

I remember a few years back that BD went to Carmel. There was a huge front that blew through exactly at halftime. The temperature dropped like 20 degrees and the wind changed directions completely. BD had chosen the wrong end zone for the new wind conditions.

I feel like this will benefit Plainfield and hurt Decatur Central tremendously

Four yards and splashing mud, on real football fields, will win the day.

So you saying Frankfort has a chance this week? or they will just get muddy?

[Gipper]

 Pretty low-class

If Coach Nickerson would have had Rifleman hold the ball, we would have won. #NeverForget

[BendNotBreak]

Reacting to a reciever is problematic in the mud... but then again... ther is that slippery pigskin to deal with....

No, they'll just get muddy since the game is at Frankfort.  The have no chance against Western Boone. At least the WEBO team manager may actually have some work do to, washing muddy uniforms.

Always has bothered me. Coach got caught up in the emotion of the game and let it affect his decision making. QB sneak if to close to the goaline, or take a freakin knee!

I guess the bye for Cathedral for tomorrow night is not so bad after all.

[Gipper]

Just got this alert: rain starting in 1 1/2 hours...

Looks like I'll be in search of the Gore-Tex...

Gibson Southern at Heritage Hills, 4 p.m., Saturday

[PCFan1996]

Perry Central @ Clarksville and Springs Valley @ Crawford County moved to Saturday as well.

[Tippy]

RC at LCC at 8pm ET.  Rain and wind from the NE at 31 mph at 8pm with gusts up to 50 mph.  Better alert the kicking teams, that kind of wind could affect the snap from center.  OH MY!  I bet RC is very happy about this.

[vicvinegar]

We're now postponing games because of wind and rain? So freaking SOFT!!!

[WCGrad92]

Monrovia @ Speeway moved to Saturday 10AM
