Delaware State Misses Flight To Hawaii Before First Game

The Hornets were scheduled to fly to Hawaii for their first game of the season but missed their flight due to an unexpected issue with transportation. This situation has thrown their preparations into disarray as they gear up to face Hawai’i.

Delaware State Troubling Start to the Season

The Delaware State football team was supposed to play in Hawai’i this Saturday to kick off its season. The team was going to board a 10-and-a-half-hour flight from New York City‘s John F. Kennedy Airport en route to Oahu, Hawaii. Reports coming out in the Honolulu Star-Advertiser indicate they missed that flight because one of the buses transferring them from the hotel to the airport had a problem.

Information on the precise details of the bus problem has not been communicated. The travel time from Delaware State’s campus to JFK Airport is over 178 miles, taking over three hours. This time delay in travel upset the travel schedule of the team and may be detrimental to their game preparation. Delaware State’s head coach, Lee Hull, mentioned earlier that there were already some logistical challenges associated with traveling from the East Coast to Hawaii. The time difference of six hours between the two locations adds another layer of complexity. With the missed flight, these challenges have been compounded.

Impact on the Team

The missed flight added unneeded stress for the team before their first game of the season. Just missing the flight means they might have less time to adapt to both the time change and the Hawaii climate, thus impacting their performance on game day. They are due to face the Rainbow Warriors at the Clarence T.C. Ching Complex in Honolulu. The kickoff time won’t be changed because of travel problems.

In so doing, one can draw the inference that the pitfalls of conditions such as these are never unique. Logistical problems do arise often, but not on this disastrous level against the preparedness and morale of the team. Delaware State will have to retool on a dime to ensure that they are capable of competing during their season opener. At the moment, Delaware State will have to ensure that the travel problem is rectified immediately and that personnel are acclimatized for playing the game.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the impact of the missed flight to Hawaii is devastating to Delaware State football’s aspiration of opening the season. This has to be faced head-on by the team and try to bounce back. All players, fans, and staff want to do is forget about this real quick and outplay Hawai’i on Saturday.
