Our administration announced that the reason it was posponed was because Wahpeton called an said they couldn't get there and that all teams were in GF except SHS and Wahp and that SHS was still planning on coming until Wahp decided not to risk it. I'm not saying safetly isn't important...it's just we knew this storm was coming for how long...why not plan ahead and come a day early? If it does get worse...and for safety's sake its held off another day...There may be 1 day between EDc and State for the East and that is not really fair to the EDC teams

and oh by the way, most school policy is if schoold is called off, like in Devils Lake, the can NOT have extra-curricular activities. Which is categorically good policy. no school, no play.

yea, that is a major point especially concerning Friday's games with possibility of multiple schools closing down for the day

All shanley players were in school today. Also, Shanley followed the lead of Fargo Public and called off all extracurricuar activities, including basketball practice.

A. Require all teams to be in GF yesterday so that the tourney can start on time
or
B. Make sure no schools come to GF until it is decided that the tourney will start on time.
Now we have teams in GF who presumably have to spend a night at a hotel while 2 others sleep at home. Something doesn't seem fair about this. And if the tourney doesn't start till Sat., which it could since tomorrow doesn't sound the best either and Whap may not be able to come, you have a long weekend in GF for some teams. Just make sure everyone is on the same page before the storm.
After reading roughriders post, I thought everyone was in GF except Whap and Shanley. Thus I didn't feel it was fair to have some still at home and some stuck in GF. Thus I outlined what I thought should be done to prevent future incidents. After furth discussion, I realized that nobody was in GF except the GF teams so the whole post was worthless.point/center wrote:?????????????????????????????????????????Stromer wrote:The thing I dislike is that 2 schools are still at home and everyone else is there.
