Smith River Soccer ⚽️ Complex is next up on the list of venues ready to host a Carroll County High School sporting event as Forrest Johnson is set to head over to Martinsville Wednesday night to face Bassett High School.
It’s been raining here in Martinsville for roughly 48 hours now which begs to question, how much rain is to much rain?
Two Track and Field teams, two Soccer teams, a Baseball ⚾️ team and the Boys Tennis team are all looking to play between now and Friday night 🌙.
The easy one should be the Track and Field teams in Christiansburg on Thursday afternoon because if the past is any indication, they will compete as long as there isn’t lightning in the sky.
Tennis started out at 11am on Monday, went to 4pm on Monday, 4pm on Tuesday and now 230pm on Thursday. The need for dry courts is imperative for the safety of the Student Athletes.
Soccer ⚽️ seems to fit somewhere in between as a damp Pitch won’t postpone a Match but a Duck Pond in the middle might cause some trouble. A muddy track normally slows 🐌 down the pace of the match but for the first time this week, we might have to question whether Wednesday night 🌙 will happen as planned ?
Casey Burcham and Bill Worrell Field have two things working in its favor. First, its not needed until Friday night and second is a little thing called quick dry. Bonus for the Cavaliers and be the availability of the Indoor Hitting Center.
Maybe its fitting, that after a Spring full of wash outs and postponed events, that we are once again at the mercy of the weather forecast.
In the words of Ed Asner in Studio 60, “Make it Stop ✋”
If you’re planning on crossing Lovers Leap tomorrow night to support our Cavaliers, it will be wise to make sure its still on and if so, don’t wear your good shoes.
