(From Staunton News Leader)

Hurricane Joaquin may still be miles from landfall, but the storm already has wreaked havoc with the high school football schedule.

As of noon Wednesday, three games originally scheduled for Friday night have been moved to Thursday night — Luray at Wilson Memorial, Buffalo Gap at Riverheads and Stonewall Jackson at Stuarts Draft. The games at Wilson and Riverheads will start at the normal time — 7 p.m. — while Stuarts Draft's game will be played at Western Albemarle High School in Crozet, also at 7 p.m.

The two remaining games — Robert E. Lee at Broadway and Harrisonburg at Waynesboro — were still on for Friday at 7 p.m.

Rain is still in the forecast for Thursday, but with heavier precipitation (at least 2 to 4 inches, according to AccuWeather) in the works for Friday and Saturday, the move to Thursday was the right one, said Wilson Memorial Athletic Director Craig Flesher.

"We looked at the forecast for Friday and Saturday, and we saw Thursday as the best option," he said. "With all the rain forecasted, if we moved it to Monday, it would be hard on the field."

Page County has moved its home football game with East Rockingham to Thursday at 7 p.m. as well.

Colonial Forge and Massaponax announced Tuesday that their games will be held tonight. Several more schools in the Fredericksburg-area followed suit on Wednesday.

Spotsylvania will host Washington & Lee tonight. Courtland will host Liberty. Chancellor will host James River at 7:30 p.m. North Stafford will host Osbourn Park, Eastern View will host Culpeper and Caroline will play at King William.

Riverbend, Brooke Point and Stafford announced its teams are playing on Friday. The Black–Hawks visit Patriot and Stafford hosts Osbourn.

Riverbend’s game against Forest Park will be played on the turf field at Potomac High School.

Orange athletic director Marc Cole said the Hornets are in flux. He said with the area receiving five inches of rain on Wednesday, the Hornets won’t host homecoming on Friday against Albemarle. Instead the game will be played at Monticello High School’s turf field.

An actual game date is to be decided, with Friday or Monday being possibilities.

Cole said Orange doesn’t want to play at Albemarle, which also has turf.

“We don’t want to play Albemarle at Albemarle when it’s supposed to be our homecoming,” Cole said.

Orange isn’t the only school with celebrations being disrupted. Chancellor is moving its homecoming festivities to tonight.

Spotsylvania was planning a big celebration Friday, as well. The Knights are commemorating the school’s 75th anniversary and planned to have a Friday tailgate in conjunction with the game and a Saturday brunch at Spotsylvania Middle.

Athletic director Buddy Herndon said the tailgate and brunch will still take place at the scheduled times.

“We had a rain plan for everything,” Herndon said. “The tailgate is still Friday. It just won’t coincide with the football game.”
