Playing in snow...
- Thread starter msc117
- Start date
I know in 2013 The small 1-A game ended in snow flurries, and the 1-AA game started in sleet.
I remember going to see Clayton play I think Monroe 198?? At Clayton . There was snow pushed up in piles where they had cleared the field
in 2002..Reidsville played HP Andrews on a Sunday afternoon in regional final...big ice and snow storm made the game not possbile on friday and sat....field was only partially cleared for the sunday game.......Rams won game and state title next week...........
Schools in Charlotte Meck were closed Tuesday through Thursday after getting blaster Monday night. Cannot remember if they went back Friday on a delay or not. Indy played Butler at Memorial Stadium in the regional final. Senior year of Chris Leak. First year of all class subdividing.
Playing in snow isn't bad as ice. If it isn't below 32 degrees you really don't notice it,we use to play sandlot in the snow growing up you really felted warm.
I'm probably going to watch Havelock at Duke then head over to watch the Wallace Rose game.
Have you and Dog79 figured out where you are going to stop and eat? I see there is a cracker barrel just off of 40 near Garner.
I'll find out for sure tomorrow and let ya know. Check on here tomorrow night. I think they talking about some hole-in-the-wall joint in Raleigh. Supposed to be good country food. I didn't catch the name yet. I'll let ya know tommorow.
The Pit in downtown Raleigh is very good, easy access off the beltway. Carolina Ale House on 70 just off I40 on 70 in front of Cabelas. You cvan pick up some snow gear at Cabelas! LOL
lol I had no idea. I guess the most important number is the likes. Looks like I got to do a better job on that.
If the NCHSAA postponed because of some winter weather, than they are softer than fresh cotton candy at the NC State Fair! My goodness some of you....it is football. It can and should be played in all adverse weather minus hurricane, tornado, lightning, dust storm, tsunami, typhoon, and other obscure crazy elements not listed.
With games on TV combined with a weather forecast like this ... money won't be nearly as much as otherwise expected.
With statewide tv live broadcast 25% of would be fans will stay home before rain. If the teams can get there the games should go on even if bleachers are empty. Game broadcasts should be delayed until Sunday to get more fans off couch.
I'm still going. High school football at its best. Screw the weather. I got ski bibs.
Same here Otis. I found out we're eating at Watkins grill. I think it's on old wakebforest Rd. Double check my directions with Google. Never been there, but one of our crowd swears by it we should be there around 1ish
I had planned on going ever since last Friday night but with the snow don't think I want to drive 4 hours. I'm really glad it's aired on T.v unlike last year. But really kinda sad. They should play the game if the teams are there. It's football play the game!!!
3 pm now and snow is starting to stick on my grass.
And because a lot of posters are obsessed with injuries, I am happy to say the Rams are healthy for the game tomorrow.
If roads are unsafe for travel, the NCHSAA certainly will come up with plan B.
NCHSAA is monitoring the situation and has "delayed" the games at Wake Forest
