With the announcement of a winter storm watch for North Georgia and metro Atlanta for Friday by the National Weather Service, the Georgia High School Association is providing alternative dates for region/area dual wrestling tournaments ahead of next week’s GHSA Dual Wrestling State Championships. All GHSA wrestling programs are now permitted to move dates up earlier this week, allowing each school the opportunity to utilize a plus one allowance to schools that move their tournaments before Friday. In the event that your region/area is moving an event, each host must notify all schools concerning the change of date and the plus one allowance.
The winter storm watch will be in effect from 7 a.m. Friday until 7 a.m. Saturday, with the expectation of snow, freezing rain and sleet. Additionally, GHSA matchups across the basketball landscape could be affected, with cancellations and postponements not out of the question.
WINTER STORM WATCH is in effect 7am Friday -7 am Saturday. First estimates on snow/ice totals are below. For some, this may start as snow and change over to icy precip or even rain, the later into the storm we get. For others farther north, this may be mostly snow throughout. pic.twitter.com/DCDBWGAhGs
