Rain Washes Out North Texas High School Football Games for Second Straight Week

For the second straight week, rain washed out North Texas high school football games. Parts of Dallas-Fort Worth were under a severe thunderstorm warning Friday night, causing games in Week 2 of the season to be delayed or canceled. Some games were suspended mid-play and expected to be ruled no contest, with no winner or loser, so they wouldn’t count toward a team’s record.

Rain and lightning also led to postponements and cancellations on the season’s opening night last Thursday. This has been a challenging start to the season for many teams, with the weather conditions making it difficult to play and complete games.
