Football: Osbourn Likely to be Back in Playoffs as Hylton vs. Gar-Field Game Postponed

(Nov. 18, 2011) - Osbourn High School may have found second life in the Northwest Region Division 6 football playoffs as Hylton High School has announced that its semifinal game tonight with Gar-Field is postponed and that they may play Monday against a different opponent.

Last week, Gar-Field beat Osbourn in the first round of the playoffs. Here is the note on the Hylton High School website:

"Due to circumstances beyond our control, the varsity football game has been postponed. We will not have a football game tonight. The game will be rescheduled and may be held on Monday, November 21. This is a regional playoff football game so the cost of each ticket will be $8. Please check the Hylton website, www.cdhylton.com, for updates regarding the rescheduling of the football game."

Washington Post's Preston Williams is reporting that Osbourn received word today after school that they are back in the playoffs. That gives the Eagles two days to practice for Monday's game, three if the VHSL would waive the Sunday rule.
