With more rain in tonight’s forecast and the path and speed of Hurricane Joaquin uncertain, some Schuylkill County high schools got proactive Thursday about their high school football game times.
Three contests — Marian at Blue Mountain, Mahanoy Area at North Schuylkill and Tamaqua at Panther Valley — had their start times moved up one hour to 6 p.m. today.
On Wednesday, the Tri-Valley at Line Mountain game was switched from Saturday night to today with a 7 p.m. kickoff.
Note that the start times in today’s edition of Football Friday may be incorrect. That publication went to press before the three games were changed Thursday.
As of press time, no other schools had reported time changes for their varsity football games tonight.
