When will it rain?

It is never a question of how much rain we will get in the spring or even if it will rain. It is just a matter of when. The hardest part of spring sports is that so much of it is played outside. A baseball game or softball game can't be played in the pouring rain and you can't jump hurdles in the rain either.
I guess some school around here play water polo in the spring but neither Belleville or Ypsilanti does any inside once the weather breaks.
Pretty soon the sports will be coming fast a furious and the rain outs will be plentiful. The worst part it trying to gear up for the season and expecting all kinds of games and actually getting almost none because of the weather.
It means we have to double up on our stories and make everything longer to cover when we have no games. It also means putting double the information in the paper when thing do get started. Our new focus it to get game stories and videos on the web ASAP so coaches please get me the info right after the games. We do want our readers to know what is going on as soon as it happens.
With 25-30 sports in the spring I can't be everywhere at all times. So please email at dmerchant@heritage.com or give me a call and we can talk my work number is 697-8255 and I will be givinh all of you my home number once we talk.

Chow for now!
