Calvert Hall-McDonogh, Loyola-Prep football games postponed
The Calvert Hall-McDonogh and Loyola-Georgetown Prep football games scheduled for
this afternoon have been postponed until Sunday, because of the snowy weather.
No. 2 Calvert Hall will play at No. 8 McDonogh at 1 p.m. while Georgetown Prep will play at No. 11 Loyola at 3 p.m.
In some areas of Baltimore County, a light coating of snow covered the grassy areas by early in the morning today with more snow expected.
"I'm up in Carroll County and it wasn't good when I left my house," Loyola coach Brian Abbott said. "If we have snow covering the lines, we can't play. It's not like he NFL where you can bring the sweepers out there."
The Dons and McDonogh have grass fields, but with precipitation scheduled to end later Saturday, both coaches expect no problems Sunday.
"I guarantee the field will be a mess," Abbott said, "but it will be sunny."
Calvert Hall coach Donald Davis said he would prefer to play on an artificial turf field even if it is a neutral site, but McDonogh wants to keep the home game. A decision will be made early Sunday morning about whether to move the game to Calvert Hall's turf field, but McDonogh coach Dom Damico said he's 95 percent sure the game will be at McDonogh.
