Due to the snowstorm expected to begin around 8:00 a.m. tomorrow morning, Saturday’s games will be postponed and rescheduled.

We will continue with our normal schedule next week, and I will work on rescheduling the postponed games. These games will likely be made up on Fridays throughout the remainder of the season due to limited access to officials.

I will begin working on the updated schedule next week.
