The Oshkosh Titans football team has not missed a beat this week during practice despite in climate weather.
After a stretch of unusually cool weather in the past couple of weeks, Oshkosh experienced a fair amount of rain Monday and Tuesday. According to the National Weather Service in Green Bay, Tuesday’s high temperature was 61 degrees with .18 inches of rain on a cloudy day. Monday’s weather was even worse than Tuesday with a high of only 56 degrees and .42 inches of precipitation.
The poor weather did little to change the practice plans of the Titans at Titan Stadium early in the week. “The weather didn’t really affect our practice that much,” junior wide receiver Steve Stoltz said. “We shortened practice but it was only by five minutes, so the weather really did little to change our routine.”
Generally practices are not affected by rain or cold temperatures, but the coaches were ready to alter their plans if a nearby heavy rainstorm were to hit the area. “On Tuesday there was a chance of a torrential downpour to come our way during practice time,” junior wide receiver Kyle Nakatsuji said. “The heavy rain missed us, but if it would have hit we were prepared to move our practice indoors.”
The National Weather Service’s forecast for Oshkosh for the rest of the week looks promising for the football team as it prepares to avenge last week’s loss to Minnesota State when they travel to Lakeland College Saturday afternoon. Highs are expected to be in the high 70s with the clouds giving way to mostly sunny skies by Friday afternoon. “It looks like all the concerns about the weather are behind us. Now we can concentrate completely on football for the rest of the week,” Stoltz said.
The 1-1 Titans’ kick-off is scheduled for 1 p.m. in Sheboygan against the 0-2 Muskies before starting conference play Sept. 23 against the Whitewater Warhawks.
