NATCHEZ — Heavy rain and severe thunderstorms forced several key local games on Friday afternoon and Friday night.

Trinity Episcopal, which leads ACCS by one game in the MPSA District 3-AA standings, had its varsity doubleheader at Prairie View Academy in Bastrop, La., rained out. No make-up date has been announced. The Rebels’ varsity doubleheader at Riverfield Academy in Lake Providence, La., has been rescheduled for Tuesday, April 15 with the first game starting at 4 p.m.

Natchez High, which is in the hunt for second place in Division 6-5A, had its game at Terry rained out. The Jackson area was nailed by blinding rain and strong wind Friday afternoon. That game has been postponed until 4:30 p.m. on April 15.

The Region 7-3A showdown between Franklin County and North Pike at Summit was postponed until today.

The junior varsity game starts at 1 p.m. with the varsity game to follow directly after the conclusion of the JV game.

If Franklin County wins or loses by no more than three runs, then the Bulldogs will be crowned the Region 7-3A champions.
