Rain postpones high school football in eastern NC

For the second straight week, Mother Nature threatens to postpone high school football games in North Carolina.

A storm system will move into North Carolina from Georgia during the day on Friday, bringing with it a chance of rain and storms.

"It's a lot more vigorous than the models were picking up," WRAL meteorologist Mike Maze said Thursday evening.

Maze said the best chance of rain will be in the eastern part of the viewing area.

"Tomorrow we're talking about a lot of cloud cover, and if you're watching from along and east of I-95, you have a pretty good shot at getting wet," Maze said. "Here in the Triangle we may not see a lot of rain, but we'll have a lot of cloud cover and that should keep temperatures down."

The chance of rain sticks around on Saturday.

HighSchoolOT.com will track statewide postponements during the day on Friday. To report a postponement or game change, send an e-mail to highschoolot@wral.com or call (919) 821-8660.

Poor little darlings. We wouldn't want our dear kiddies to get rained on would we?

• Report abuse
Most high schools can't afford to lose the gate receipts which would be lost if they played in the rain. Fans stay home and the school loses hundreds, or thousands, of dollars. Since the money which is taken in from football pays much of the cost of running the entire athletic program, one bad night can affect all of the school's athletic teams.

Do they not play in the rain anymore? When we played unless it was a hurricane or had lightening the show went on.
