A winter storm has forced some shuffling in the local sports scene this week.

Several basketball games have been postponed due the snow and ice, including Tuesday’s  showdown between Crest High School and Marmaton Valley.

Yates Center was set to visit Southeast-Cherokee Tuesday, but those games were called off when Yates Center canceled its classes.

Humboldt’s game set for Friday at Cherryvale has been pushed up a day to Thursday.

Southern Coffey County’s visit to Marais des Cygnes Valley was pushed back two days, from Tuesday to Thursday, because of the weather.

Monday’s middle school basketball action also was affected. Iola Middle School was slated to host Wellsville Monday, but those games have been pushed back to Jan. 30. Humboldt’s Monday games at Leon-Bluestem were canceled, as were Marmaton Valley’s games at Uniontown.
