The local high school sports team were all ready to open their spring sports schedules this week, but the weather hasn’t cooperated. All Salem and Glenvar High sports scheduled for Monday and Tuesday were postponed, and at press time the forecast for Wednesday wasn’t much better.

The boys’ soccer game at Franklin County was moved to March 29 and the boys and girls lacrosse doubleheader at Jefferson Forest will now be played May 1. Salem had a baseball game with William Fleming postponed, and no makeup date was agreed upon at press time. Glenvar had a baseball game at Martinsville, and that’s been moved to May 8.
