No week 3 talk ...sooo all of florida games are canceld ??

[THIS_IS_DILLARD 324]

Im shocked that no week 3 games are being talked about even tho things are still up in the air.

The storm has continued to turn especially away from south florida but yet no games are being discussed as if were being hit head on.

Storm isn’t moving.  It is going super slow.    Lots of games will be moved to Saturday, Monday or canceled.  In Central Florida looking forward to Edgewater vs Jones and Cocoa vs Osceola.  Hope they play.

Many schools already lost a day due to Labor Day add in many schools losing Tuesday, I could see many school districts canceling/rescheduling games (even though that hadn't happened yet).

I believe it depends in where your at like south fl for ex broward and dade should still b able to play their games being that were only getting some win and a lil rain tomorrow. 

For ex wen school started a few weeks back school started wed but our KOC was still played fri.

I was also really looking forward to the Cocoa vs Osceola game.

Unfortunately, the game has been cancelled. (Per Osceola football facebook page)

I don't think I ever cared if games were cancelled before, but with trying to do playoff ranking points, you need every game, when games get changed to Monday or Saturday or you never find out if the game is canceled or rescheduled it becomes a HUGE mess.

I think they could have continued with the prior system or done some of the things you suggested two or three years ago instead. I think this latest iteration, despite good intentions, is going to be very difficult to manage.

On old system they wouldn't hesitate to just cancel any non conference game

 

With every game counting they are gonna try every option to try and reschedule and get game played

In Central Florida, they're talking possible reschedules to Saturday, possibly Monday. Coaches would like to avoid Monday; they don't want to play two games in one week.

Correction Duval schools are out til Friday now

Smh!!! If it was at dillard i bet it wouldnt have been postponed they should have just came here instead smh.

[Perspective 253]

How bad is it over on the East Coast?  it's only Tuesday.   Dorian's supposed to be all the way up in North Carolina by Friday.  Couldn't teams practice tomorrow and Thursday and play Friday night?  Or at least play Saturday? 

I'm all for taking reasonable precautions, but unless the fields are unplayable (for practice and/or games), I'm not sure why games are being canceled.   What am I missing?

I think some teams aren't sure what to expect from the fields post the storm and don't want to play a game and potentially have no practice time before the game

The biggest issue is that the districts cancelled school. When they do that, they cancel all activities associated with the district (including practices). I’m in Central Florida and it’s not bad here at all but it’s a tall order to get back to school on Thursday (at the earliest) and try to play a game Friday or Saturday. It becomes a bigger headache if there’s a team from another county who can’t play when you can. No coach likes the Monday game (especially with District games getting ready to start). It sucks for the kids most of all because they lose out on a game if the one they miss isn’t rescheduled.
