While this harsh winter weather continues to change boys’ and girls’ basketball schedules on pretty much a daily basis, District 3 will not change its deadline to accumulate power points for the upcoming basketball tournaments.
The final day to earn points toward your power rating will be Thursday, Feb. 6 — bad weather or not, like it or not.
Here’s more from the District 3 home office …
* The current deadline of Thursday, Feb. 6, will remain in place. The district is aware that games scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 5, and Thursday, Feb. 6, could be in jeopardy if weather forces school closure.
* The 2013-2014 District III M&T Bank Basketball Championships are scheduled to begin on Friday, Feb. 14, with Class AAAA and Class AAA preliminary round games, and it is important that the district is able to secure sites and inform the schools and the public of the basketball tournament details.
* This process takes time, and the district feels it is in the best interest of all participating schools to have the playoff schedule in place as soon as possible, and thus will keep to the timeline that has been in place all season. District III will release the official basketball pairings and brackets on Sunday, Feb. 9
