Students, teachers and coaches accommodate to schedule changes

treme weather this winter season. Snow days have caused problems for most of the winter sports teams. Both boys and girls basketball had to reschedule games due to bad weather conditions. “The girls (could not play) the game against Lowell because we just could not fit it in,” Athletic Director Bill Dorulla said. “The game was supposed to be there (Lowell). We were going (to go), but they cancelled it because of the weather.” Along with rescheduling games, the basketball teams also had to cancel practices. Sophomore guard Katie Pawlowski found it to be a nuisance during the season. “Two to three of our practices got cancelled, and they were before games,” Pawlowski said. “It did kind of affect us that way, but I think the way we came out (from practices) it didn’t matter because we were focused on what we had to do.”

The girls swim team had to work around their schedules as well. “The days we don’t have school are difficult because in the winter time, especially towards the end of the swim season, we have to swim. It’s not like the girls can’t swim,” girls swim coach Bryan Trippeer said. “They have to swim somewhere.” The girl swimmers had multiple options to consider due to the snow days. The girls could either go to the YMCA or reschedule their practice times. “The kids are all used to swimming at certain times of the day, and having to change their schedule makes it hard for the swimmers because they might have made plans in the afternoon and now we have to ask them to come in and swim,” Trippeer said.
