• The next few days are predicted to be even worse than today.
• Both teams are highly ranked in Districts (# 1 and # 3) and have their first game on Tuesday, and trying to squeeze a game in Monday night before the District tourney is not preferred by either school.
• In accordance with PIAA rules, no practice or game can occur after a team’s last post-season game so delaying the game to June is not an option.
