Red Bank/Soddy-Daisy game has been postponed. No make-up date set yet, but it won’t be played tonight #bestofpreps

Still plenty of fans here despite the delay. We’re not out to at least 8:30 before kickoff, and lightning is still intermittent so that will probably extend. #bestofpreps pic.twitter.com/URejGghqxl
