ROCKINGHAM — All of Richmond Senior High School’s athletic events scheduled for Tuesday have been postponed due weather.

Wednesday, April 3:
The Lady Raider softball and baseball teams will travel to Lumberton High School on Wednesday to make-up Tuesday’s rain-out. Both games are scheduled for a 7 p.m. start.
