Maranatha's home opener moved back a day
Maranatha has lights for the first time to enable the school to host Friday night games. Their home opener against Pasadena Poly, however, has been moved to Saturday, Sept. 22 in observance of Yom Kippur. The game is set to kick off at 7 p.m.

For the record Poly does have Jewish players on their roster.

Yom Kippur is the day of atonement, the holiest date of the Jewish calendar. Poly has Jewish families who wouldn't be able to support the team if the game were on Friday. The Maranatha administration showed grace and class by moving the game to Saturday to accommodate Poly. One could only hope that the Maranatha fans who frequent this blog displayed grace and class.

It still makes no sense to me that Poly wanted to do that unless for the obvious reason of having Jewish players on their Roster.
Hey...I guess that means that Maranatha will get some well deserved coverage by the Star-News for once due to a Saturday Night game.
Will Maranatha be "Hard Pressed" to stop Poly, just like last night against the White Tigers???!!!
