Snow stops H.S. sports

Posted

For the second time in two weeks, the Nassau County High School athletic events have been postponed due to a snowstorm that blanketed the area on Friday.

The weather wiped out 70 varsity basketball games across Long Island, as well as the Nassau Division II wrestling qualifier tournament set for Friday evening at Locust Valley. That event, along with five of six Nassau Division I tournaments, will be held on Saturday. The qualifier at Long Beach will begin two hours later than the others, at 11:30 a.m.

Some of the Nassau boys' basketball games originally scheduled for Friday have been rescheduled for Saturday. Sewanhaka visits Kennedy at 12:30 p.m., Hewlett is hosting New Hyde Park at 3 p.m., and Lawrence is home to Glen Cove at 3 p.m. In girls' hoops, Lynbrook hosts Floral Park in a key matchup at 11 a.m.

The Nassau boys' swimming prelims were also moved to Saturday at the Aquatic Center and will begin at 11 a.m.
