Postponements

The impending snow this evening has forced the postponements of the EAHS girls and boys basketball games scheduled for tonight.

The girls game originally scheduled for tonight at home has been moved to tomorrow night. Varsity at 8 p.m., JV at 6:30.

The boys game originally slated for tonight at Garden Spot has been moved to Thursday night. Varsity at 8, JV at 6:30.

Tonight's wrestling match at Warwick is still on as scheduled as of 2 p.m.

Snow forces postponements

Today's snow (seriously, wasn't it like 60 yesterday?) has forced the postponement of several EASD athletic contests schedule for today. Here's the lowdown.

• Boys basketball that was scheduled for today vs. McCaskey has been moved to tomorrow (that's varsity and JV). The varsity will still start at 8 p.m.

• Girls basketball that was scheduled to be at McCaskey has also been postponed, with no makeup date announced yet.

• The only other match was a home rifle match against CV, and that has been moved to tomorrow as well.

Because of the cancellation of today's boys basketball game, there will be no coverage of them in the print edition this Thursday. My deadline to get the paper sent to the printer is tomorrow afternoon, well before the game. But I may head over and just cover it for the blog.

Weather update

Well, for now it looks like this afternoon's District Three wrestling tournament is still on as scheduled. I know the AA tourney started this morning at 8:30 and is going on as I type this. However, AAA isn't slated to kick off until 4 p.m., at which point the weather is supposed to turn icy – so I'll keep an eye on it and post any updates here as soon as I get them.

As for the CPIHL playoffs, those are also still on as scheduled. E-town is slated to play tonight at 8:45 p.m. at Lancaster Ice Rink. I have a feeling that'll be pushed back though. But again, it's still on as of now.

For those wondering how they can hold these events with school cancelled, I'll tell you. For wrestling, when it comes to district playoffs or tournaments, the decision on whether or not to hold them falls directly on the District Three committee, the schools really have no say.

In hockey, the CPIHL is not a school-sanctioned sport, so if school is cancelled, they really can't tell the CPIHL what to do.

I'll keep you updated on the weather and will be back later with a recap of last night's boys basketball game and also a recap of Wednesday's ice hockey matchup.
