Prom or playoffs? St. John Paul II baseball team faces tough choice

The Eagles (24-3) are scheduled to play Chaminade-Madonna (17-11) at home Friday, but the prom on a cruise ship has complicated scheduling. Under FHSAA rules, the teams must agree on a time, but Chaminade rejected proposals for noon or 1 p.m. start times to preserve class time. cricket-info.homes

The FHSAA offered 2:30 p.m. or 4 p.m., which the Eagles accepted. Coach Pete Graffeo expressed frustration over the lack of flexibility, noting his seniors face a tough choice to miss prom or leave the game early.
