Winter weather forced the postponement of several region tournament basketball games on Tuesday, and it is continuing to alter schedules on Wednesday. (NOTE: See below for an updated and current region tournament schedule involving Regions 8-AA, 7-AAA and 8-AAAA. No changes have yet been made to Region 8-AAAAA.)
Region 7-AAA, which already postponed games on Tuesday, has now pushed its Wednesday contests back to Thursday. The tournament has yet to tip-off but is hoping to do so at two different sites on Thursday, with the boys 7-AAA tournament scheduled to take place at East Hall High School and the girls at West Hall High.
Region 8-AA, meanwhile, will move one game scheduled for today, as Union County boys and Washington-Wilkes will now play at 4 p.m. Thursday. The other two contests slated for today at Rabun County High (Oglethorpe County boys vs. Greene County and Rabun County boys vs. Social Circle) will continue, with the Wildcats moving into the 5:30 p.m. slot, as opposed to the originally scheduled 7 p.m. tip.
So far the Region 8-AAAA tournament scheduled for today is still on schedule. The league postponed contests on Tuesday, moving games to today -- including contests at Buford and North Oconee. Games scheduled for Wednesday at North Hall also remain unchanged. The biggest change occurs at Buford High, where games scheduled for Tuesday will now be combined with the games scheduled for Wednesday, meaning four contests at Buford.
Meanwhile, Region 8-AAAAA kept to its schedule last night, with games at various sites, including two contests at Gainesville High (which saw the Gainesville boys win and the Flowery Branch boys fall). Region 8-AAAAA games are also scheduled for tonight at Flowery Branch, including the Lady Falcons at 7:30 p.m. The Gainesville girls will also play Cedar Shoals at 6 p.m. in Loganville. Also on Tuesday, the Lakeview boys and Lakeview girls won Region 8-A contests in Athens.
We will keep you updated on any tournament changes as soon as we receive word.
