Area basketball teams resumed competition after a six-day weather break that halted practices and games. Key events were canceled like the Girls' Louisville Invitational Tournament, significantly impacting local teams, particularly North Bullitt and Bullitt East. Though games resumed on Friday and Saturday, teams faced further disruptions due to Jefferson County school closures. Coaches quickly sought to fill gaps in schedules, with notable matchups arranged just a day prior, reflecting the urgency to keep athletes active.

By the Numbers
  • Elizabethtown's senior Miyah Courtney averages 18.8 points per game (ppg); sophomore Maliah Courtney averages 28.7 ppg.
  • Fairdale Bulldogs are set to play ten games over the final three weeks of the regular season.
State of Play
  • Teams were shut down for six days due to snow, affecting on-campus events and game schedules.
  • The Bullitt East Lady Chargers are attempting a second chance at the Raatz Fence/O’Shea’s Basketball Classic after the initial cancellation.
  • Coaches are actively looking to fill their schedules and reschedule any missed games as needed.
What's Next

As weather conditions stabilize, teams are expected to resume regular play and actively seek additional games. The rescheduled matchups will help minimize gaps in competition, with the district games crucial as the regular season wraps up. Upcoming contests include Bullitt Central facing Mercy, which will be a significant challenge for both teams.

Bottom Line

Staying flexible is critical for local basketball programs as they navigate rescheduling impacted by weather. Prioritizing complete game schedules now is essential to prepare for the upcoming district competitions, ensuring teams remain competitive and engaged as the season progresses.
