The following is an annoucement from the Super Essex Conference regarding the Essex County Tournaments for Boys and Girls Varsity Basketball:
The third, and final, Preliminary Round of the Essex County Boys, and Girls, Basketball Tournaments are scheduled to be played on Thursday, February 9th.
However, weather may become a factor upsetting these plans. With snow forecast for the state on Thursday, tournament organizers are preparing to move these games to Friday, if possible, or Saturday. In the event Saturday is the day for completing the Preliminary Rounds, the First Round games, originally scheduled for Saturday, move to Tuesday, February 14th.
