Well here is the recap from the games at Candlelite Knolls from this weekend…..
I want to thank all the HS Managers for being patient with the few HS cancellations and the morning dew that thawed around the 11:40 a.m. game that turn the solid infields to mud. The Valley Extreme organization and the Optimist Club turned the fields over, let the wind and the sun perform its job, and then rolled the fields and applied a few bags of oil dry and we were up and running for the 1:20 p.m. games. Unfortunate this minor delay played havoc with the HS busing schedules and some teams had to leave. Field #4 was playable at the 3:00 p.m. game, but the teams had to leave prior to the field being available for play.
We apologize to Salem, Crestwood, Champion, Mayfield, Newton Falls, and Mathews…..these schools did not get to play today and will receive a full refund. Over the weekend we did manage to play 12 HS scrimmages out of the 22 that were planned. We lost four games to the mud and the remaining were due to HS teams canceling.
So all in all it was a COLD weekend, but a GOOD one!!!!!!
Good Luck to all the young ladies, their coaches, and their respective HS programs.
Take Care
