I am the stat guy, equipment manager, and hudl guy for Fern Creek HS in Louisville, Ky.
Friday 8-22 we were supposed to open at home against state 6a runner up, we are also 6a.
Friday's forecast was just scattered thunderstorms, but a front moved in with lightning about 7:00pm 30 minutes prior to kickoff, stadium cleared, game was postponed at 9:30 due to continuing lightning. We are set to restart tonight at 8pm, about 7:30 another storm front moves in and about 9pm, game was cancelled. In Ky we only get 1 bye week and the two teams byes don't match, the Ad's, Assistant Principals etc at the game said we couldn't play on Sunday. So game cancelled without rescheduling. Both teams can try to find a makeup game but unlikely.
Later tonight we learned via twitter that two other area public schools are resuming Sunday evening, and a third is playing a team from another county (away game) and will finish on Monday night (they got in 1.5 qtrs before storm).
the storms this weekend were unreal, normally systems are smaller and run East - North East up Ohio Valley from St Louis, thru Louisville to Cincinnati. These storms both nights ran almost straight south from Indianapolis thru Louisville to Tenn.
