For those wondering about the State Semi-finals, the rain is hitting HARD (again). All games are delayed.

Thankfully, every field at Greenlight Park has lights, so 🤞games can resume sometime today.

Welcome to Binghamton weather...

@ToddHallidy Actually turned it on at halftime, saw the score and said, “Nope.”

@sfj8888 For what it's worth, the TV guys are typically pampered when it comes to parking at sporting events. They've always taken warning signs about fire lanes as mere suggestions on the rare occasions when a team or a school doesn't give them the VIP treatment.

End 2. Mamaroneck 18, Monroe-Woodbury 2.

Both coaches have agreed to skip halftime and start the third quarter in hopes of getting out of here before the weather moves in.

Running time in the second half.

@rachbarnhart Lest you forget, there was an ulterior motive behind the PAB push. By getting a red-meat item on the ballot in 2019, Lovely Warren assured a bigger city turnout that would help Adam Bello defeat Cheryl Dinolfo. That earned Team Gantt patronage positions in county government.
