Friday, August 27th, 2010As soon as Cape Coral High School officials decided to postpone the team’s preseason game from Friday to 5Â p.m. today, the rain temporarily quit falling.
But as first-year coach Brad Metheny pointed out, there was standing water on Dave Warkentin Field.
The Riverdale Raiders will return Saturday.
“It would have been at least a two-hour wait to get the field to where we thought it would be safe,” Metheny said. “We were all in agreement that tonight was a wash.”
Metheny previously coach at inland Frostproof, where he did not have as much trouble with rain.
“We haven’t had but one day since last Thursday, that we’ve been out on the fields,” Metheny said of practices. “It’s been a rough week getting ready for a game, I can tell you that.”
