Here is another note coming in from Langston Wertz Jr. at the Charlotte Observer:
On Tuesday, the S.C. High School League voted to start its football playoffs one week later to allow teams to make up games missed because of Hurricane Florence.
*****Que Tucker, commissioner of the N.C. High School Athletic Association, said there should be a decision in North Carolina about any possible playoff schedule changes by Oct. 1.*****
“We’re still giving our schools enough time to access damages to let us know what they’re dealing with,” Tucker told the Observer. “So for us to come out with anything at this point would be premature. We don’t know the conditions of the many school impacted.”
