Who's ready for some Sunday baseball?

Rain and horses caused Trigg County to move their district baseball game with Lyon County to Sunday afternoon at the Complex.

Trigg County held on for a wild win, 13-12.  And a lot of fans of both teams got to see the game.

The Sunday afternoon game (2pm start) brought out a lot of fans from both schools.  Fans who maybe have to work during the week and can't make a weekday game.  Or maybe it was just fans who wanted to enjoy the nice weather and support their school.

Regardless, it was one of the biggest gates of the year.  And the atmosphere didn't go unnoticed by Wildcat head coach Jackie Sholar.

"I liked playing the Sunday afternoon game.  Our fans knew about it on short notice, and we still had a lot of people there," he said, adding "I'd like to schedule one or two Sunday games next year."

Of course, it would have to be a school from an adjacent county so that church attendance wouldn't be an issue.  But a 2pm start for a baseball game would allow schools such as Caldwell County or Hopkinsville to attend church, drive to Cadiz or Trigg fans drive there, and still arrive in plenty of time for a 2pm start.

It also allows people to return home in time to attend night services.

I've always been an advocate of sporting events being played on a weekend afternoon.  I would love to see the Trigg football program schedule one Saturday afternoon football game a year.  It would allow those fans who work during the week or work on Friday nights a chance to support their school.

It also gives a slight college atmosphere to a high school game.  I've attended Saturday afternoon football games at small colleges such as Campbellsville and Centre and the atmosphere rivals anything you'd find on a Friday night.

You could have a Saturday afternoon homecoming.  Are people from a long way away more apt to drive Friday evening for a game instead of using Friday night to drive and then attend the Saturday afternoon game rested and ready?

Here's hoping we see some Saturday afternoon football and Sunday afternoon baseball in the near future.
