Week 6 of high school football in Cleveland, Gaston and Lincoln counties will arrive a tad earlier than expected, wet weather prompting a few area fixtures to shift their start times forward.

As of 10:30 a.m., three area games have moved to earlier kickoff times, each of which will be played in Cleveland County. The matchup between West Lincoln and Burns, as well as Stuart Cramer’s road test at Shelby will now kickoff at 6:30 p.m. Forestview and Crest have also shifted to a 7 p.m. kickoff.

Most area games remain scheduled as planned, however. Kickoff is at 7:30 p.m. unless otherwise noted.
