The Rangers face Herrin at 2 p.m. at Tabor Field.

 

Weather conditions moved the start times around on Friday before officials decided on a postponement. 

 

The game Friday was scheduled for 7 p.m. The threat of bad weather later on in the night caused officials to set a 6 p.m. start time to get the game in before the skies opened up.

 

About 5:30 p.m., though, officials stopped the game start clock at 35 minutes with the announcement that it may be restarted at 6 p.m., which left a possible kick-off time of 6:35 p.m. 

 

The weather chose not to cooperate. 

 

The game start clock began counting down, again, before 6 p.m. But the promise of storms created another delay before the first snap, and the postponement became a lock. 

 

Today's game is Herrin's first on the road. The two teams enter today's game with identical 2-1 records coming off wins last week.
