Lake Oswego vs. Sprague game canceled, too many sick kids

Submitted by Katy Brown on Thu, 2009-10-29 17:31

Salem's Sprague High School has been rocked by a bug that forced the cancellation of its big game at Lake Oswego High School Friday night.

Hundreds of kids at Sprague have come down sick and there just aren't enough players for the game.

The school's athletic director, Mark Risen, said it's unclear whether it's the swine flu but it hit the football team especially hard. No other sports teams at the school have had to cancel events.

Lake Oswego's coach, Steve Coury, said in his nearly two decades of coaching, he has never had a game canceled because of such widespread sickness.

This was a big matchup between two playoff-bound teams so the decision to cancel it wasn't made lightly.

"Spirit of Troy"

Los Angeles--

UPDATE

Really annoyed the stadium announcer keeps pronouncing Jacquizz Rodgers' name as "juh-KEEZ."He began the game by talking about Lyle"MOH-voh."

The USC pre-game radio broadcasters and the university's own athletic director had more respect, recognizing the talents of the Rodgers brothers and how difficult they are to tackle.

Capacity of the LA Memorial Coliseum: 93,607 (which means it's really loud when the Trojans get it going).

Attendance tonight: 89,217
