Snow…..oh no
Almost everyone loves the snow.
I love to see it. My children love to see it. It seems like we don’t see it nearly as often as we used to in Forsyth County.
But the problem with winter weather is how it interrupts the basketball, indoor track, and wrestling seasons. And having spent the better part of Friday and today (Tuesday) trying to find out rescheduled dates for basketball games, I am positive that there is at least one demographic of society ready to see the snow disappear, and that would be high school athletics directors.
February 13th is the last day of the NCHSAA’s basketball regular season, so there is roughly a week and a half left. Very few schools are right on course to complete their conference schedules, and some are falling woefully behind with each passing day.
One athletic director told me this morning that his conference is already taking a look at cancelling the conference basketball tournament. If we get another blast of winter weather this weekend, which is a distinct possibility if the forecast is believable, I bet there will be some conference tournament casualties during the week of Feb. 15-20. Instead, some leagues might be completing the regular season.
Stay tuned and bundle up.
