There was a meeting at the BOE today to decide who would play a football game Friday night. It was determined that Alco will play Northern at 4:00 on Friday and FH will play Sherando at 8:00 pm on Friday.
Just to rehash my sentiments...there really should not have been a decision to be made. Two teams share a stadium and the only question is whose turn is it to play the extra Saturday? It's about as illogical as trying to decide who has the home side at homecoming. There is no decision to be made there, the two teams alternate. What is something really simple has been turned into a difficult task that wasted time and made Cumberland athletics look like a 3 ring circus to other schools. We have followed the same policy for 70 years, why it would change now makes zero sense.
Now the next time someone has to play the extra Saturday will turn into another time waster because there is still no policy. Expect more 4:00 and 8:00 Friday games I guess.
Next...Geez!
