What was supposed to be a week filled with marquee boys basketball games has turned into a puzzle to make everything fit together.
The snowstorm that pushed its way through Colorado forced the postponement of several basketball games across the state and forced teams to find new dates for those games to be played.
CHSAANow.com was slated to be at some of those key match-ups.
In Class 5A, a much anticipated game between No. 3 Regis Jesuit and No. 4 Rock Canyon was slated to be played Tuesday, but called due to both districts not having school. No makeup date is listed on MaxPreps.
A couple of very high profile 4A were supposed to be played during the week. District rivals No. 4 Pueblo South and No. 5 Pueblo West were supposed to square off Tuesday, but the game was pushed back one night. They will instead play Wednesday night at Pueblo South.
Lewis-Palmer, the newly crowned No. 1 team in 4A will not play No. 9 Vista Ridge Wednesday night. Instead, the game has been pushed back to Saturday. That game will be played at Lewis-Palmer High School. The Wolves nearly handed the Rangers their second loss of the season earlier in the year, but Lewis-Palmer came away with a 39-36 win.
A crucial league game between two top-10 3A teams was also postponed. Manitou Springs was set to travel to CSCS on Tuesday night, but the league rivals will instead meet on Feb. 15. The Mustangs currently sit in first place of the Tri-Peaks League and the Lions are looking to regain the top spot, which they lost when they suffered an upset at the hands of St. Mary’s on Jan. 22.
The severity of the storm appears to be over which would be a welcome sight for coaches and players that are looking to get back on the floor.
