Rain forces events to be rescheduled
Rain on Friday caused the postponement of a pair of local sporting events, as two high school soccer matches had to be rescheduled.
Crescenta Valley and Burroughs will meet in a key Pacific League boys’ soccer match at 10 a.m. today at Crescenta Valley.
The match was originally slated for 4:45 p.m. Friday at Burroughs, but Burroughs administrators reported the field to be unsafe.
The Falcons are tied for first in league, while the Indians are tied for third.
A Prep League girls’ match between Flintridge Prep and Westridge at the Glendale Sports Complex was also called off Friday because of the weather.
The match will now take place at 3:15 p.m. Friday at the same venue.
