Rain Delay

Mother Nature gave a day of rest for all the high school athletes in spring sports. Even though that wasn't on the schedule.

This afternoon was supposed to be the Royals' Regional Championship game at Pittsville. But the forecast of 100 percent chance of rain was 100 percent correct.

At one point during the day, the "officials" delayed the start time from 4:30 p.m. to 5:15 p.m. Then, when our boys and coaches were already on the bus and en route, a deluge made the field unplayable again. And the coach got a call it was time to turn the bus around and head back to Wisconsin Rapids.

Until tomorrow.

So yes, the Assumption baseball team will play at 4:30 p.m. Thursday at Pittsville. Our softball team will play Wausaukee at 5 p.m. at the Almond-Bancroft field for the Sectional Championship. And our soccer team has their second playoff game at 6 p.m. at Aquinas in La Crosse.

If you have a private or a Delorean, you could make all three. I'll be supporting hubby and the boys at Pittsville and hope it won't be Mudville.

There's still a 20 percent chance of rain tomorrow. But I think Mother Nature and her pal Ol' Man Winter owe us one when it comes to spring sports. Don't you?

Go ROYALS!!
