Water was pooled up in a ditch Monday afternoon outside of Clinton’s football field.

Due to what meteorologists dubbed as “Tropical Cyclone 8,” rain showers covered the area on Monday, cancelling all athletic events — even the indoor ones, presumably because of precautions for travel. This included both practices and games, giving area athletes a rare weekday off to recuperate.
