Covid-19 has already wreaked havoc on the 2020 preps hoops schedule especially at Weston where games scheduled for this Thursday and Friday had to be postponed and rescheduled or have another team substituted in.
Weston was supposed to play Atlanta this Thursday evening but due to the virus spreading throughout Winn Parish the game was cancelled. Fortunately Weston was able to save the playing date when Hornbeck agreed to fill the spot for a girls and boys tilt. The girls game will begin at 6:00 pm with the boys game to follow.
Another virus victim was the Wolves scheduled Friday home game against Saline which is also fighting the epidemic that has not only affected the team but also head boys basketball coach Klint Robinson. That game was rescheduled for December 14th.
It took a little longer for the boys than it did for the girls but both squads entered the win column after the first week of play. The Weston girls enter the Thursday contest with a 1-1 record after dropping the season opener to Summerfield and then beating former district rival Doyline. The boys lost to both Summerfield and Doyline before grabbing their first victory of the year over Grace Christian.
