Snow Wreaks Havoc on Local Prep Slate

BERLIN- The persistent snow and associated school cancelations have wreaked havoc on the local prep sports schedule with some teams having played their last games or meets two weeks ago.

The Decatur varsity wrestling team managed to get in their match with Kent Island on Tuesday, and the Seahawk swim team also had a meet with Milford on Tuesday. Decatur’s boys’ varsity basketball team beat Wicomico on Monday in a game played on a scheduled off day at the schools.

However, the Decatur girls’ varsity basketball team, riding an 8-0, win streak, have not played since January 16. The Seahawks’ game with Indian River on Wednesday was postponed and the girls’ were scheduled to play Pocomoke on Thursday. The highly anticipated rematch with Mardela was postponed last week and is now set for Monday.

Meanwhile, the Bayside Conference indoor track championships have now been postponed twice, most recently on Wednesday, and are now set for Friday. The state regional indoor track meets are scheduled to begin next Tuesday. Worcester Prep was on a scheduled winter break this week and did not have their schedules interrupted. Both the Mallards’ boys’ and girls’ varsity basketball teams last played on January 16 and will resume the season next Wednesday against Salisbury Christian.
