The lights went out at Indian River High School Friday night. Literally.
Two wires at the south end of the field crossed and knocked the lights out, forcing the Indian River-Lake Taylor game to be postponed.
The contest resumes today at 2 p.m. at Indian River, with the Braves leading, 14-0, entering the second half.
Indian River's Lance Bishop was ready to kick off the second half when the lights went out.
This is the second time in three weeks that an Indian River game has been blacked out. The opener with Norview was halted in the second quarter after a lightning strike. The Braves rallied from a 6-0 deficit to win, 14-6. by CNB
