AURORA | A fast-moving snowstorm that caused the surprise cancellation of school in Aurora Public Schools and Cherry Creek School District as well as Regis Jesuit also scrubbed after school sports Tuesday.
A significant slate of boys and girls basketball games and girls swim meets was on tap, but will now be rescheduled due to the second snow day of the first semester of the school year.
Among the cancellations, the opening of the Prairie View ThunderHawk Hoops Fest for the undefeated Eaglecrest girls basketball team as well as a boys-girls hoops doubleheader at Cherokee Trail and a non-league Aurora boys basketball clash between Smoky Hill and undefeated Rangeview (now scheduled for 7 p.m. Wednesday per Raiders coach Shawn Palmer).
Grandview announced its boys basketball game with Palmer had been moved to Wednesday night at 6 p.m. on the Wolves’ home floor.
All practices are also canceled with the closure of schools.
