Earlier this week, nearly half of this week’s high school football games were moved from Friday to Thursday. The reason? An anticipated heavy dose of rain, and some wind, was expected in the area Friday, as the remnants of Hurricane Willa pushed through.

So while many teams played games Thursday night, in dry conditions, the heavy rains arrived Friday and are forcing more changes.

The Mallard Creek at North Mecklenburg football game, for example, will now be played at Mallard Creek. Three games involving CMS teams —Rocky River at Independence, Hickory Ridge-Easr Meck and Mooresville at Hopewell — have been pushed back to Monday. And Myers Park’s game at Indian Trail Porter Ridge has been moved to Monroe High School to play on artificial turf.

The updated schedule is below.
