Cleveland High School boys’ basketball coach Jason McCowan expected to be focusing on a big district clash this week against Ooltewah.
Instead, he has been wondering which of his players might have sculpted the best snowman.
The 7-8 inches of snow that blanketed the area forced the postponement or cancellation of all high school sports events this week except for a handful Friday night in Georgia. Lobbying superintendents for practice time became more of a priority than drawing up game plans.
With school being out this week, Hamilton County teams could not practice. McCowan’s Blue Raiders finally got back on the court Friday afternoon after receiving permission from Cleveland City School superintendent Dr. Rick Denning.
Rescheduling, at least league games, now becomes more of an issue than any opponent.
