Thompson高中取消赛季最后一个主场比赛 对手仍受飓风Isaias影响
阿拉巴马州谢尔比县Alabaster市的Thompson高中10月19日宣布，取消原定10月29日举行的本赛季最后一个主场比赛，对手是佛罗里达州Fort Walton Beach的Choctawhatchee高中。
学校在社交媒体声明中说，Choctawhatchee高中仍在应对飓风Isaias带来的持续影响，包括赛程方面的困难；在保障学生运动员安全、优先完成赛区赛程的前提下，比赛无法按原计划举行，校方尝试过替代安排，也未能找到新的对手。Choctawhatchee高中10月15日的发帖也提到，完成赛区赛程、把学生运动员安全放在第一位。
Thompson高中本赛季战绩为7胜1负，此前曾位列全国第10名；上周以27比28负于Prattville后，球队跌出全国Super 25榜单。主场比赛取消后，Thompson将于10月23日对阵Oak Mountain高中的比赛成为本赛季常规赛最后一战。

Thompson Cancels Final Home Game as Opponent Deals With Hurricane Isaias Aftermath
Thompson High School in Alabaster, Shelby County, Alabama, announced on October 19 that it has canceled its final home game of the season, scheduled for October 29 against Choctawhatchee High School of Fort Walton Beach, Florida.
In a statement posted on social media, the school said Choctawhatchee continues to deal with lingering effects from Hurricane Isaias, including ongoing schedule challenges resulting from the storm. Despite efforts to explore alternative arrangements, the school said multiple circumstances made it impossible to play the game as scheduled or to find a new opponent. A Choctawhatchee football post on October 15 said completing the district schedule while prioritizing the safety of student athletes must come first.
Thompson is 7-1 this season and was formerly ranked No. 10 nationally. The Warriors dropped out of the national Super 25 this week after a 28-27 loss to Prattville. With the cancellation, Thompson's October 23 game against Oak Mountain becomes its final regular-season game.
Hurricane Isaias struck the southeastern United States in early October, and the Florida Panhandle area around Choctawhatchee dealt with school closures, damage and disrupted athletic schedules. (GSM, via USA Today)
