AURORA | Significant snow and bitter cold prompted Aurora Public Schools, the Cherry Creek School District and Regis Jesuit High School to cancel school on Thursday.
With the shut down of buildings and facilities comes the postponement of scheduled practices and games, which scrubbed a moderate amount of prep sports action. The majority of the slate (listed below) was made up of girls swimming and wrestling meets.
Schools just returned from winter break on Wednesday and many basketball teams got in games in the evening as the storm arrived. For more details on the games that got in, check the Aurora prep sports scoreboard here.
The Gateway boys basketball team, however, had its game at Monarch High School moved from Wednesday night to 1 p.m. Saturday.
Thursday’s reschedules were gradually rolling in, with the Vista PEAK wrestling team’s home dual meet with Longmont moved to Jan. 13 as one of the first changes.
