Clarification on scheduling change
On Tuesday, we reported on Twitter that Springfield Central and Everett would be linking up for a Sept. 13 game this coming season.
However, since then, a few things have changed.
Springfield Central is now back to playing Central Catholic on that weekend, as is Everett with Xaverian. Those were the original matchups scheduled, but Springfield Central and Everett fell victim to some mutual confusion over the dates involved.
The source of the miscommunication stemmed from rotation into the extra week that the 2019 season has built in. Here is the explanation of that framework on the Massachusetts High School Football Coaches Association website:
In the case of Everett and Springfield Central, the Week 1A/Week 1 distinction that does not exist most seasons threw everything off-kilter. From what we were able to gather, there was not any willful attempt on anyone's part to drop one opponent for another. This was simply an error of trying to schedule games without having everyone on the same page.
We can't say much more on the matter at the moment, and we know it is annoying to put it this way, but stay tuned. A lot of this should clear up over the course of the next week. We apologize for our role in reporting what turned out to be false information.
