Delaware State is set to open its 2024 season at Hawai'i this weekend, but the week is already off to a hectic start for the Hornets.
The team was scheduled to make its 10-and-a-half hour flight to the island of Oahu on Tuesday, but it missed its flight, according to the Honolulu Star-Advertiser. The team was scheduled to fly out of John F. Kennedy Airport in New York City, but reportedly missed its cross-country flight due to an issue with buses.
"We’re working on a plan," a team spokesperson told the Star-Advertiser.
The specific issue surrounding the busses transporting the team was not announced. It is roughly a 178-mile − or more than three hour − drive from the Delaware State campus to John F. Kennedy Airport. Delaware State head coach Lee Hull said on Monday there were some logistical challenges with the team flying from the East Coast to the Hawaiian island, with a six-hour time difference.
The Hornets and Rainbow Warriors are scheduled to play Saturday at the Clarence T.C. Ching Complex in Honolulu at 6 p.m. local time − 12 a.m. ET.
