 At the suggestion of veteran Poca trainer Bruce Knell, the Dots delayed the start of their game against Nitro to 8:30 p.m., an hour later than normal, to reduce the possibility of heat stroke.

 

“This game is not for the fans or the coaches; it’s for the players,’’ he said. Friday’s high temperature was 98.

 

Poca has added a visiting locker room behind the main concession stand at O.O. White Stadium.
