Perryville at Herculaneum football postponed until Saturday

Posted Friday, October 9, 2009, at 6:19 PM

I just got off the phone with Perryville AD Jeff Steffens, who told me that the school's football team against Herculaneum has been postponed until 7:30 p.m. Saturday night. The game is being moved to Crystal City because of field conditions at Herculaneum.

Steffens said that the Herculaneum field had 2-3 inches of standing water on it yesterday and that the new sod on the field was not taking the abundance of rain we've been having well.

Steffens also said that Perryville coach Keith Winkler has been in the hospital today with an unknown ailment, but that Winkler still hopes to be there on the sidelines tomorrow night.

If I get any more weather-related updates or hear more on Winkler's condition, I'll let you all know.

In the meantime, if you're avoiding the rain and staying inside tonight, check back here often because we'll have live quarter-by-quarter score updates for almost every game in the region tonight.
