The Scenic City Youth Football League games scheduled to be played Saturday at Ridgeland High School on Sept. 26 have been moved to Hutcheson Memorial Field in Rossville.

With the weatherman calling for thunderstorms and the present condition of the Ridgeland playing surface, Panthers' head coach Mark Mariakis and Rossville Athletic Director Stump Martin reached an agreement Thursday night to move the games.

“Hutcheson Memorial Field isn’t in the shape I would like for it to be for six games,” Martin said. “Nevertheless, with the rain we’ve had in the past week and the possibility of not playing at all, it’s the next best thing. I urge people to bring their chairs because the stands are not big enough to handle the crowd.”

Fans and teams will enter Hutcheson Memorial Field through the south gate.

Martin said the Rossville Bulldog teams would return to Ridgeland on Oct. 10 for homecoming festivities.

“I felt it is very important that these games are played with the number of games that have already been postponed,” Martin said. “We’ll make the best of this situation with your help.”
