The time and date was agreed upon by both coaches with the approval of both superintendents. Noone is making you come to the game although we would hope that you would come support our boys.
Try to think positively about things. With this arrangement your family can have lunch together and then all go to the game together. This might be a chance for out of town family members to finally get to see your team play. Then after the game, the boys will be free until Mondays practice.
If we play Friday, the boys would have practice Thursday morning and then they would be gone most of the day on Friday.
Life is not fair and you can't please all the people all the time. The game is Thursday whether you like it or not. Get over your negative feelings, adjust your schedule and come show your support!
