The Pickerington High School Central boys basketball team's Tuesday game at Delaware marks the end of a scheduling anomaly. The Tigers' first six games this season and seven of their first eight are on the road.
It has made coach Jerry Groves' job of adapting his young team to varsity play much more difficult.
"I don't care what sport you're talking about, when you're at home, it's easier to play," Groves said. "You've got the crowd behind you and you're comfortable playing in a gym you're in all the time. Being on the road like we have been is not easy."
