Due to recent local cases of EEE(Eastern Equine Encephalitis) the South Hadley Superintendent, Dr. Young, has mandated that all outdoor activities conclude before 6:30 pm until after the first frost of the year.
This will impact the football team in a couple of ways. First, Thursday practices, which are scheduled for 6-8 pm, will now be at the normal 3-6 pm time slot. Second, all night games are subject to be moved to Saturday afternoons. Away games may still be held on Friday nights - but that decision is made by the host school. All home night games will be moved to daytime until after the first frost.
I will update the game schedule as I get information from Mr. Desautels. So please check the calendar as the season progresses for recent changes.
Obviously this is not an ideal situation and is a disappointment to the coaches, players and parents who enjoy Friday night lights!! However, it is an uncontrollable factor that we will deal with on an ongoing basis. Thank you in advance for your understanding.
