Newport-Redmond girls golf postponed due to weather
The much-anticipated girls golf match between Redmond and Newport was postponed due to weather yesterday. Both coaches were hoping to finish the match, but after a small river began to run through one of the greens, it was impossible not to acquiesce to Mother Nature.
It is still uncertain whether the match will be continued from the point of stoppage or if an entirely new round will be played.
