  "account": "Inclement weather led to a wave of cancellations on Week 1 high school football schedules in the San Antonio area on Friday. The storm that rolled through the region caused delays due to lightning and heavy rain. Early in the game, Southwest led Victoria East 14-0 before officials called the match due to the inclement conditions. This marked the beginning of a series of games that were either moved or canceled because of the weather. Notable among these were Smithson Valley-Katy Cinco Ranch, YMLA-Pearsall, Holy Cross-Lanier, Brackenridge-Kennedy, and Judson-Johnson. Additionally, the East Central-Harlan game, scheduled for 10 a.m. Saturday at Gustafson Stadium, was postponed.",
