Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools are off Friday and so are CMS football teams.
There will be no games involving Charlotte-Mecklenburg high school football teams Friday.
With Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools closed Friday due to damage caused by Tropical Storm Michael, the district has to decided to give schools the option to move games to Monday, Oct. 15, or to an open date in November. There were eight home CMS games scheduled for Friday.
The district said CMS schools scheduled to play away games Friday -- Garinger at Porter Ridge and Myers Park at Hickory Ridge -- could be rescheduled for Saturday, Monday “or another mutually agreeable date.”
Usually when there is no school, there are no extracurricular activities, such as football games and other athletic events.
When Hurricane Florence hit last month, the N.C. High School Athletic Association pushed the season back a week to allow teams to make up games.
Before the state change, the final week of the regular-season would’ve been Nov. 2 and the playoffs would’ve begun Nov. 9. CMS schools didn’t miss games due to Florence and now can use the extra week to make up games missed due to Tropical Storm Michael.
▪ CMS said it had 32 schools without power Thursday due to high winds, heavy rain and downed trees and power lines due to the storm, which blew through the area. That forced the schools’ closure Friday.
Among the schools without power Thursday was Mallard Creek High School, which is scheduled to host Hopewell in football Friday night.
▪ Schools in the I-MECK conference, like Hough, Mooresville and Hopewell, pushed back Friday’s games one week -- and will push back the remainder of their schedules back one week as well.
▪ Outside of CMS, the Cannon School at Christ The King game has been postponed Friday. It will be played Monday, Oct. 15 at 6 p.m.
