District teacher meetings and no school on Thursday-Friday that week. In NEMO, most of those end of season games were on Wednesday. Also, seems like until at least the early 80s. most games started at 8PM. Am I wrong on that?

Question of the year, submitted by Veer. (Yes, I meant to rhyme that. LOL)
Now, back to the original topic: South Holt at Princeton will kick at 8.
Thanks, interesting, wonder if there was weather in the 0-0 game at Miller.
Ozark @ CJ moved to 8PM as well.
Forecast at 8PM...Real Feel 99. Dew Point 74.
Thank goodness for safety.

Everything I could find on the 1954 game did not mention weather nor did any other games played across Southwest Missouri that night.
However, found this information about the 1951 matchup ... Carl Junction was scheduled to play Miller in the season finale on Friday November 2, 1951. According to several items published in the Springfield News-Leader, Miller had a football player killed in a motor vehicle accident and both schools agreed to postpone the game to Monday, November 5.
At least five games on that Friday, November 2 night in Southwest Missouri were postponed due to the weather and one report listed "five inches of snow."
The game was postponed to from Monday, November 5 to Friday, November 9 due to the weather and was postponed again from Friday, November 9 to Wednesday November 14 when it was finally played.
Carl Junction won the game 12-7 to complete an undefeated season at 7-0-1 and 6-0-1 in Tri-County League play and took a 15-game winning streak into the 1952 season.
