Rain Delay Doesn't Dampen Warrior Spirit

The Lincoln-Way West Warriors football game against Sycamore was postponed Friday due to rain and lightning. The game is rescheduled for 6 p.m. Saturday at L-W West High School.

Although the first game of the 2013 Warrior varsity football season was postponed till 6 p.m. tomorrow due to the weather, the kids made the best of the situation.

The game was called off about 7:50 p.m. Lightning and rain posed a safety issue.

The first concern is for everyone's safety, said Lincoln-Way West Principal Monica Schmitt.

While awaiting a decision, fear of cloud to ground lightning and rain failed to dampen the Warrior spirit! The waiting led to an impromptu pep assembly and spontaneous bursts of spirit. The cheerleaders, marching band, the Warrior mascot and plenty of fans joined in the fun.
