Well, I guess there are two mistakes an AD can make on a night like this. 1. Cancel the game, no weather issues 2. Play the game, weather issues I guess I can sleep a lot better going with #1 . Back in action tomorrow. Go Lions!

The IHSA announced yesterday afternoon that physicals will still be required for participation this fall. I STRONGLY recommend making an appointment with your doctor or local facility as soon as possible. It may be much more difficult to get this requirement done this year.
