The new opponent in local district tournaments: Snow and ice

So much for a smooth week of district basketball tournaments.

The ice and snow that moved in earlier this morning has juggled today's schedule of games and threatens to affect more games. The longer the icy weather lingers, the messier the schedule could get.

The status of Class 4 District 1 games at Perryville should be known around noon, according to a spokesperson at the Perry Park Center. Tentatively, girls semifinals are tonight at 6 and 7:30.

At Jackson, semifinals were completed Wednesday, so it was an easy call to move tonight's boys championship to Friday and set up a boys and girls doubleheader at 6 and 7:30 p.m.

At Farmington, a spokesman at the Farmington Civic Center said at 11:15 a.m. that there's been no change to the schedule of the Class 4 District 2 tournament today, so that means girls semifinals are (so far) still on for tonight with finals Friday.

The forecast doesn't look encouraging, though: It calls for ice and snow across the area through early Friday.
