August 22, 201412 yr I know people in Bowling Green that have told me this entire summer has been extreme heat and very little rain. The only saving grace is that gas has been around the 3.20 mark the entire summer without raising once
August 22, 201412 yr Darn our first game is Sunday. The kiddos are going to be hot! or maybe not... http://www.khsaa.org/sportsmedicine/heat/heatindexchartcolor.pdf Artificial turf adds 5 or more degrees. So afternoon games on turf are probably in some jeopardy. Even those on grass may get to the 104 mark.
August 22, 201412 yr ..... Big select soccer tourney in Cincinnati this weekend, the Goalrilla Classic, and it is going to be toasty. Can't wait!!
August 22, 201412 yr Smokin in WKY the last few days and going to be worse this weekend. I know Bowling Green is not Western Ky. but they have been smoking there all summer with no rain. They're like the show 'Under the Dome", they don't get anything the rest of the state gets in winter or summer
August 22, 201412 yr I know Bowling Green is not Western Ky. but they have been smoking there all summer with no rain. They're like the show 'Under the Dome", they don't get anything the rest of the state gets in winter or summer It has actually gotten a lot better this month. Month to date weather underground is showing over 7.25" of rain which is more than they got for May, June, and July combined. There was actually pretty significant flooding around Bowling Green a couple of days ago.
August 22, 201412 yr I know Bowling Green is not Western Ky. but they have been smoking there all summer with no rain. They're like the show 'Under the Dome", they don't get anything the rest of the state gets in winter or summer We've received decent rainfall this summer. Been mowing the yard all spring and summer.
August 22, 201412 yr ..... Big select soccer tourney in Cincinnati this weekend, the Goalrilla Classic, and it is going to be toasty. Can't wait!! I'll be up there sweating it out Saturday. We have nearly 6 hours between the start time of our 2 games.
August 22, 201412 yr We've received decent rainfall this summer. Been mowing the yard all spring and summer. It must be spotty rains, because the friends of mine are always complaining about how it is pouring 5 miles from them but they never get any rain, they did get a good soaking a few days ago though. Is it true that gas never goes up there? She brags that she has been paying 3.14 at Kroger for weeks now
August 22, 201412 yr I'll be up there sweating it out Saturday. We have nearly 6 hours between the start time of our 2 games. I've never seen a bigger spread between games in any tourney we've played in. We play at 8:35 and then not again until 3:05. Brutal. If you don't still have my text, and you may not have connected the dots with who I am and that we've met on a few occasions, send me a PM and I'll explain. Good luck!

Yeah, we play at 12 something and then again at 6:20. They also bumped us up an age group, and we're playing in the top division of that age group. It should be interesting.
