That's because their coaches were arrested the night before, accused of trying to con a woman in Lubbock Texas.
The alleged victim says coach Patricia Bibbs, her husband and an assistant coach tried a "pigeon drop" scam on her.
In a pigeon drop scam, the victim is approached by someone who claims to have found a purse with a lot of money in it.
Then the victim is persuaded to put up money for a lawyer so both can claim it.
