The Northern Region championship games for baseball, boys’ soccer, girls’ soccer and softball were postponed Friday due to heavy rain and lightening.
It didn’t help matters that three of the participating schools — Centreville, Oakton and Westfield — were also hosting prom Friday night, which precluded games from being started too late.
As a result, all four games were eventually rescheduled for Saturday afternoon at Madison High School.
The boys’ soccer game between Robinson and Westfield was called with 15 minutes, 58 seconds showing on the clock in the first half. The two teams, which were locked in a scoreless tie, will resume play at 12 p.m.
It was a similar situation in the girls’ soccer game, where Chantilly and Oakton were also locked in a scoreless tie with just 1:58 remaining in the first half when the game was called.
The girls’ soccer game will re-start at 2 p.m.
The baseball and softball games, which never got started, will both begin at 3 p.m. The baseball finale will feature Lake Braddock and West Springfield; the softball title game will feature Centreville and South County.
