The snow that blanketed Delaware on Feb. 22-23 not only closed schools and businesses, it forced the Delaware Interscholastic Athletic Association to change its schedules for the basketball and swimming tournaments. Wrestling also has an event this week, but it was unaffected by the white stuff.
Basketball, which was supposed to tip off on Feb. 23, moved its start to Feb. 25, affecting the first and second rounds and the quarterfinals. More information is available for the girls’ and the boys’ brackets. Swimming was slated to begin with the diving preliminaries on Feb. 24, but that and the swimming prelims all moved back a day.
Tickets for all events are available at www.gofan.co/app/school/DIAA except those at the University of Delaware. Those can be purchased at www.bluehens.com.
