South Aiken was a no-show tonight for their scheduled varsity match with Irmo. Irmo coaches, players and referees were at the field ready to play until past game time. Conditions were playable with light rain and moderate wind. The JV game was played as scheduled and Irmo parents heard from S Aiken parents during that game that the S. Aiken varsity was not coming. The Irmo coach was informed of what the S Aiken parents said and his response was that his last communication with the S. Aiken coach was that the game is on. The varsity girls asked if it would be a forfeit and the coach said he is turning that matter over to his Athletic Director.
By HS League rules, Irmo has to pay the referees even though the game was not played. I have heard there are no penalties for no-shows, but I think S. Aiken should at least have to incur the referee expense.
