Did they bring in portable lights or did the game start early?

 

In 2007, they played Beechwood at CCH on a Friday night. They brought in portable lights for that one.

 

5:30 start. No portable lights.

I think my son's senior year (2004 season) was the last time they opened on a Friday at home. Sound right?

Correct, Against Boone County. Drew Ellison had a coming out party.

Correct -- then when Steve headed up to be interviewed at halftime his son (Griffin, now a sophomore, I believe, at CovCath) hung with my very young son and I on the field until Steve got back. Fun night!

Cov Cath has pretty openly been planning for lights for quite some time. All of the conduits and raceways were even installed when they originally switched from grass to turf 10 years ago.
