A decision Tuesday to move all Metro Tournament soccer games to turf fields proved to be a good one Wednesday, as rain covered the Birmingham Metro Area most of the day.

“There is no way we would have played at all yesterday without the turf fields,” said Mountain Brook head coach Joe Webb.

The move allowed for all but two games to be played Wednesday. Hoover City Schools made a decision to postpone the late games at Hoover High and Spain Park High after looking at the forecast.

Webb said he and Spain Park coach Joe Carter made the decision to on Tuesday to move the location of games.

“The rain wouldn’t hurt the turf, and we didn’t want to tear up the grass fields with over a month left in the season,” Webb said.

Wednesday’s games between Oak Mountain vs. Spain Park and Briarwood vs. Indian Springs have been rescheduled for Saturday morning.

Webb is hoping the turf will help them from needing to make any other changes as rain remains in the forecast for the remainder of the week.

“We are crossing our fingers that there won’t be any further complications with the schedule,” Webb said. “The Metro tournament has been around since the late 1970s, and is a big deal for the teams in this area.”
