[Mike Van Hook @vanhook69]

@KirkwoodKoalas @GSV_STL Why play any state games on dirt this day of age with stl weather. Have to play them, so why risk it. And why let coaches of host schools dictate.. mshaa needs to do their job. Its bs!

[Mike Van Hook @vanhook69]

@GSV_STL Its past 1 any decision yet? I heard when boys showed up at 11:30 the field was not playable then? Thanks for keeping us updated.

[Mike Van Hook @vanhook69]

Lets keep grinding boys!! Another day of ball!
