King and Queen cancels King William Game
- Thread starter EHSMDC1
- Start date
Yes this game will not be made up! At King and Queen we got word of some things supposed to happen at the game that may stem from some things that happened last week not involving students and for safety for everyone we found it best we not have the game per our sheriff and other personnel this decision was made !
The rules on this are
68-3-1 Postponed or Suspended/Interrupted Games-Postponed or suspended games must be rescheduled for the same evening or the afternoon of the next calendar date, except for Sundays and except for extenuating circumstances approved by the district chairman if both schools involved are within the same district; or by the three (3) Executive Committee representatives and the two (2) region AD's that will provide section information if the section is involved. If it is not a district or sectional contest, the VHSL Executive Director will rule on the extenuating circumstances. Friday games would be rescheduled for Saturday; Saturday for Monday; and Monday for Tuesday. ATHLETIC ACTIVITIES -130-
68-3-2 All make-up games must be concluded by Tuesday preceding the fi rst regional play-off date. Games not concluded by that day will be counted as a loss for both teams. If two schools cannot agree on a make-up date, the VHSL Executive Director shall set the date. A school may choose to forfeit only if approved by the VHSL Executive Director.
So looks like it could go down either way depending on the district chairman.

The safety aspect should be honored but the implications to the points needs to be addressed as well. I would hate to think that the VHSL couldnt or wouldn't get involved. It's truly not fair to any of the teams that may have gained from this game. I have no horse in the race but really this is unfortunate on a lot of different levels.
