At 5 this afternoon, the Demon baseball team was starting hour two of sitting in a bus alongside Texas Highway 21 just west of Toledo Bend, as their road home was blocked by severe weather including tornado activity in Sabine Parish.
Coach J.P. Davis called to update us and to assure the team was safe. They've heard a tornado touched down between Zwolle and Many.
Meanwhile, today's NSU spring football practice is on hold and likely to be rescheduled. Coach Scott Stoker will work out in bad weather but never in dangerous weather. It's not windy here yet, but the lightning bolts are very frequent and that's the trigger to keeping the football team inside.
The steady rains frustrated a tremendous effort to get today's softball series finale played at Natchitoches Central High School. Among those getting muddy trying to get the field ready, only to see it inundated again and again: the players and coaches for the Demons, and softball SID Adam Jonson and student SID Matt English. Facilities director Alan Pasch and other athletic staff were giving it all they could but nobody could jam up the clouds.
