The varsity football game scheduled for Friday night, Oct. 23, at Elkhart will now be played on Thursday night, Oct. 22, at Elkhart. It will begin at 7 p.m.

The 7th grade, 8th grade, and JV games have been moved from Thursday night to Friday night. They will be played at Jacket Stadium and the 7th grade game will begin at 4:30 p.m. with the other games to follow.

These changes are due to possible weather that might cause game delays and/or postponments. With district play winding down and the importance of each game to playoff positions the decision was made to reschedule.

NWS issues Flash Flood Watch

weather-alertThe National Weather Service has issued a Flash Flood Watch for Henderson County through late Saturday night.

According to the NWS: “An upper level storm system to the west will move across the Southern Rockies while low level moisture deepens across the region. This first system will be followed by another upper trough over the weekend. The alignment of the lower and upper level features will be such that heavy rainfall will move into North-Central Texas Thursday night and slow to a crawl Friday afternoon through Saturday night. With such a slow moving system … rain may be continuous with rates exceeding 2 inches an hour in some locations. Over time … totals of 2 to 5 inches with localized amounts exceeding 7 inches are possible late Thursday night through midnight Saturday night.”

Floods such as these have the potential to cause significant damage to properties. Companies like Water Damage Restoration of Austin can help property owners to return their homes or businesses as they should be.

The Flash Flood Watch is currently scheduled to end at 1 a.m. Sunday, however that is subject to change.
