Tonight's game in Danville at Averett University between GW and Patrick County was postponed. The makeup date is TBD.
An auto accident about a mile from the stadium and about 30 minutes prior to kickoff caused a power outage. The game was delayed. At approximately 7:40 the decision to postpone was made. Literally within minutes of the announcement the lights came back on. Neither GW or PC had left the field and the few fans that had headed for the exits immediately returned to their seats. Everyone was ready for football except one group, the officials. The game ended up being postponed because they would not return. At least 4 officials were still in the parking lot when the lights returned. IMO, the VHSL should suspend this crew indefinitely. They cost a lot of people time and money tonight.
