The St. John the Baptist versus Holy Trinity boys soccer game today, Oct. 11, was suspended at approximately 5:30 p.m. due to inclement weather with St. John the Baptist up 3-2 at halftime.
Ah yes, a divine recipe for disaster: two competitive teams, a slim margin, and thunder and lightning.
What's a referee to do?
The rules are what they are, said St. John the Baptist coach Andrew Herr, whose team improved to a perfect 5-0 in CHSAA. To his credit, Herr acknowledged "anything could have happened if we played the second half."
Perhaps no one knows that more than Holy Trinity, who fell to 1-4-1 in the league with the, er, "loss", to the conference's first-place team. Herr said that its harder to schedule makeup dates once teams get deeper into the season.
Onto the question for our readers, first the athletes: How do you bounce back from a decision like this? For coaches, how would you reenergize your players and keep them from being demoralized in the days after a game like this?
