The weather resulted in several sports-related cancellations and postponements, but it didn't completely wipe out the schedule.

The Maroons held off a second-half Galesburg rally to win the sophomore game 62-59. The Silver Streaks battled back from an eight point half-time deficit to tie the game at 46 at the end of the third quarter, but the Maroons outscored GHS 16-13 in the final stanza.
