Ok, let’s see if we can cover everything here.

  1. The league has added another day to the regular season. The season will end on Saturday, with the playoffs starting on Sunday.
  2. The delayed game between Woodstock and New Market has been declared a final (Woodstock was winning the game when the skies opened). The game, however, has not been finalized (hopefully will be tonight), so the standings do not reflect that just yet.
  3. Several games have been rescheduled already, with a few more to go. Make sure you check the league website, which should have the new dates available before anywhere else. (The Purcellville at Covington game will be on Saturday at 7 p.m. That is not changed on the league website yet due to the current status of the game.)

Now for the games from yesterday:
