NCHSAA men's state soccer championships postponed to Sunday, Monday
November 14, 2008 By Charles Alston of North Carolina
RALEIGH - The four North Carolina High School Athletic Association state men's soccer championship games scheduled for Saturday have been postponed.
The forecast for heavy rain throughout much of the next two days, along with concern over field conditions and safety with four games scheduled for the Curtis and Jackie Dail Soccer Stadium on the campus of North Carolina State University, forced the switch.
Three games will now be played on Sunday and then the 4-A championship will be Monday night at 7 p.m.
On rare occasions NCHSAA state championship games have been moved to Sunday due to inclement weather or facility issues.
Wendy's is the presenting sponsor of the NCHSAA sports program. The Raleigh Sports Consortium serves as a host city sponsor for these championships, along with the city of Raleigh and the Greater Raleigh Convention and Visitors' Bureau.
