OXFORD — The Ross-Talawanda high school football game has been postponed to tonight, Oct. 24, after the stadium lights failed to come on at Bowers Field on Friday night.

“We had an electrical issue out here, a big one,” Talawanda Athletic Director Chris Weaver said.

The game, which never started, has been rescheduled for 7:30 p.m. today at Ross’ Robinson Field.

Weaver had hoped to get the electrical issue resolved so the game could be played in Oxford tonight, but made the call late Friday to move the game to the Rams’ home field.

Admission will be free, Weaver said.

The game is key for Ross, which still is in the hunt for a Division II state playoff berth.

The Rams, who are 4-4 overall and 2-1 in the Fort Ancient Valley Conference Scarlet Division, are eighth in Region 8 in the Harbin computer ratings. The top eight teams in each region make the playoffs.

The Braves are 1-7, 1-2.

How can you say pathetic school district? It was a Duke Energy transformer under the street that failed. The high voltage line from 1960 malfunctioned with no warning. Actually ask some questions before you blame the school district.

seriously

Really? you guys are complaining about electrical issues and football? Friday night football is a tradition, just like Saturday College football. That's just how it is, you can't bring up environmental issues into it!

and you have to feel bad for Talawanda, those seniors play 4 years, and on their final home game they have to play at Ross? That kind of sucks for them, you have to of played high school football to realize the importance of your senior night.

really?
