Weather or NOT?

Well, what can I say. The storms that were coming broke up. I know what you're thinking. WHY? Schools, Garrett included,  must make decisions about cancellations of after school activities BEFORE the end of the school day. If we don't it becomes very difficult to notify all the necessary people. Because of the need to cancel 3+ hours before a game, sometimes you have to guess at what it will be like at game time. So, today, we were faced with a radar full of red and yellow storms. We talked with our conference schools and scheduled opponents. We decided to cancel based on what we were seeing. I think it's obvious, we are not great meteorologists! But, I won't apologize erring on the side of the safety of our students. I know it's inconvenient for the parents. Trust me, it's quite a bit of work for the athletic departments also. We don't want to postpone or cancel events if we don't have to. With that said, we have already gotten most of the events rescheduled. Here are the new dates:

The GOLF team will travel to Pond-a-River Golf Course on Thursday to make-up the rescheduled ACAC quad match from tonight. The match will begin at 4:30.

The Baseball and Softball team will host South Adams this coming Friday night. Both games will begin at 6:00pm.  The Softball game with Concordia scheduled for this Friday will be cancelled. If we have a chance we will make it up at the end of the season. We are in the process of rescheduling the Busco and Central Noble games cancelled last night. I will update you when and if that occurs.

The track meet tonight at Woodlan will not be rescheduled. The ACAC Conference Championship is determined by the Conference Track meet scheduled for Friday Night, May 11th. So, we do not have time to reschedule this meet. Both track teams will host Central Noble at home on Thursday night. This is senior night. Senior Parents should be at the TRACK by no later than 4:45pm. The meet is scheduled to begin at 5pm.

Tomorrow the Baseball team will play at Parkview field. The game begins at 4:30. This is done so we can get two games in during the school week and still get the teams home at a reasonable time.  Parkview field is in charge of calling this game due to weather. So, if we have a cancellation, we are at their mercy.
