The Morris Redskins were scheduled to be the first area varsity baseball team to begin their 2013 season, with their opener planned for this afternoon at Wilmington.

At practice Monday afternoon, eighth-year coach Todd Kein said the Redskins would not play Wednesday, and expressed concern about their first few games. Morris is also scheduled to play at Plainfield North Friday and at home against Bradley-Bourbonnais Saturday.

Kein spoke from an office near the Redskins' makeshift practice headquarters — the wrestling room at Morris. As of Monday — two days prior to the Redskins' scheduled opener — the snowy, wet and cold weather had kept them from practicing outdoors even once.
