Henry Clay cancels first two games of the season

[colonel-fan]

Cited safety concerns. 

Will other Fayette County schools follow suit?

I don’t see a school like Frederick Douglass cancelling unless absolutely made to.

It certainly seems so.

If Douglas is forced to cancel the first two games things could get interesting. Game two is a district game against Scott Co. So my understanding is that would force Scott Co to cancel a game to fit in Douglas. Douglas would have to cancel another nondistrict game to open a spot for the game. Things start getting messy.

From Pulaski County's coach John Hines:

Tates Creek has cancelled with North Hardin in Sept 11.

Looks like it...

North Harden and Pulaski should just play each other week #1.

They want more practice time.

I also expect Belfry to be calling Pulaski County if the 9/11 date is open.

Belfry and Pulaski were scheduled to open the season against each other in the Don Franklin Bowl before the schedule got changed.

Belfry has that 9/11 date open and has been actively looking for a game to fill and Coach Hines made a tweet just the other day how sad he was the two were not able to play.

Douglass is not scheduled to play Scott Co. until the 3rd week on Sept. 25 they have PLD on Sept. 11 and were scheduled to play Henry Cay on the Sept. 18 and their bye in Oct. 9. I talked to the coach last night they are currently looking for a game either open date as of now.

Good Call.

Little surprised that the game appears to be at Belfry?

 

Maybe a Home and Home agreement and not just a one off? My guess is Belfry returns for the Bowl next year in exchange for Pulaski coming to Pond Creek.

So with Fayette Co. now letting the school practice and play.  Will Henry Clay play those first 2 game?
