There were some possible concerns about Russell County’s upcoming trip to Somerset to take on the Briar Jumpers Friday night after a hole opened up on the field due to drainage issues.
A report in the Commonwealth Journal Wednesday afternoon by reporter Carla Slavey said Somerset’s Superintendent told the board of education that the issue has been temporarily resolved and the field will be ready to go Friday.
Lively said that while current repairs are a “temporary fix,” area has been filled in. The field’s AstroTurf should be back in place by Thursday, the report states.
The Lakers will look to pick up their first win of the season as they take on a Somerset squad also coming off a Week 1 loss. Kickoff is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. CT.
