The Student Alumni Association postponed Oozeball until next
Friday due to weather.
Students were scheduled to
prepare the playing field Thursday
by mixing 143 tons of dirt with
water provided by the Arlington
Fire Department.
But rain turned
the waiting dirt into clay, which
cannot be processed through a
sifting machine.
The machine,
which removes rocks and other
debris, makes the dirt — eventually turned into mud — easier to
play in, said Carmen Fisher, a Student Alumni Association Board of
Directors member.
The National Weather Service
forecasts clear conditions next
week, during which time Fisher
said they will sift the dirt.
Any teams with changes to
their rosters should notify the SAA
by phone or e-mail.
Players, like business freshman
Sebastian Aguilar, were disappointed to hear about the postponemen
