Tim Fletcher: Mother Natures Takes Part In Demons Practice

Mother Nature made her presence felt during Northwestern State's first full practice Tuesday morning.  Lightning in the Natchitoches area sent the players off the field for a half-hour early in the workout.

After returning to the field briefly, another batch of lightning sent the team indoors again.

Soon after the Demons made it inside, a downpour soaked the area.  The much-needed rain was nice---however, when the players were able to get back on the field, stifling humidity had set in.

Head coach, Jay Thomas found a silver lining in the thunderclouds of the day. "It was a good lesson for us.  We always talk about sudden changes in the game, usually that means turnovers, but it can mean weather delays."
