Weather Forecast Impacting High School Football Schedules

Due a weather forecast on Friday (Sept. 18) calling for 80-to-100% chances of showers and thunderstorms, area high schools are scrambling to adjust their schedules.

A handful of games have moved to Thursday (Sept. 17), including Postville at South Winneshiek, Waukon at Forest City, and North Butler at Nashua-Plainfield, a game that kicks off at 6:30 PM and can be heard on 95.9 KCHA.

Charles City’s game at Waterloo East Friday night has been bumped up to a 5 PM varsity kickoff. The game will be broadcast on Fab Oldies 1580 AM/103.3 FM KCHA.
