There’s no arguing that moving tomorrow’s playoffs games in the hope of avoiding the bulk of tomorrow’s snowstorm is a no-brainer. But why not move the games to Sunday and hope to avoid the whole thing altogether?

LancSports.com’s Jeff Reinhart spoke to Melissa Mertz, assistant executive director of the PIAA, and found out why.

Mertz said the PIAA wanted to avoid a repeat of the 2003 championship weekend, when it made the decision to postpone Saturday’s games until Sunday on Friday night — and then watched as the snow ended on Friday and Saturday was beautiful and clear.

The PIAA was in a tough spot today and made the best decision it could under the circumstances. Of course, it looks like both games will now be played in at least some snow — and the AAAA final could be a complete whiteout if the storm arrives as forecasted — but that’s what happens when you’re still playing football a week before Christmas.

Now, if you want to second-guess the PIAA’s decision to extend the season this far, I’m all ears. But I can’t argue with the call they made tonight.

Hopefully, for Lancaster Catholic’s sake, at least some of tomorrow’s championship game will be played in decent conditions, because the Crusaders want to pass the ball. We all remember how the pass game looked against Loyalsock two weeks ago, and tomorrow’s storm could be worse.

We’ll see how it works out.
