No surprise here...

Playoff games are postponed today, which is probably a good thing. Who the heck wants to drive out to Brentwood or Elwood in this?? Not I.

Games are tentatively scheduled for noon Saturday. It looks like snow might continue tomorrow, so who knows, the games could be still be pushed back to Sunday.

The John Glenn girls basketball team will have gone 11 days without a game if tip-off is tomorrow. That could work to Shoreham's advantage. If the Wildcats can come out hot, get ahead early and keep up their defensive pressure, they could come out with a win. John Glenn was definitely the better team in the regular season, but not so much that it would be impossible for Shoreham to win.

As for the Lions of Longwood, I'm not sure a day of snow will do much to slow down forward JJ Moore of Brentwood. The Lions are going to need to play real big down low in order to win. Without Marcus Hunter, a 6-5 forward, the Lions lack any real post presence outside of Jimmy Knudsen. We've seen the Lions can still score without Hunter, but the question is, can they get enough defensive stops when they matter most? And can they keep Moore off the glass?
