PILOT MOUNTAIN — Rains that started dur- ing the early morning hours Monday, and continued sporadically throughout the day, caused East Surry to again postpone its home game against West Mont- gomery. The game had been rescheduled to Monday at 7 p.m. after a heavy shower Friday afternoon caused the original postponement of the game. No date has been announced for the reschedule of Monday’s cancellation.
