Due to the threat of inclement weather which may be caused by Tropical Storm/Hurricane Hanna, at least one area high school is moving its football game to Thursday night.

            Portal will travel to Jenkins County on Thursday for a 7:30 p.m. kick.

            Statesboro’s contest with Groves of Savannah has yet to be moved, but a Thursday night game is likely. An evacuation mandate by emergency officials in Chatham County will ultimately dictate what happens to the scheduling of the contest.

            Bulloch Academy is also considering playing arch-rival Pinewood Christian on Thursday instead of Friday, but officials at both schools won’t make a final decision until today around noon.

            Hanna is on track to brush the Georgia coast sometime Friday night or early Saturday morning, according to latest reports.

            Other games still scheduled to be played Friday night include: Toombs County at Southeast Bulloch, Laney at Screven County, Metter at Claxton and Savannah Christian at Emanuel County Institute.
