Prep Basketball Update: Friday’s schedule, weather postponements (Updated 12/8 4:36 PM)

With some expected potential snowfall in the area Friday, which could create potentially hazardous roads Friday night, some area schools have moved games. Two schools, Dorman and Hickory will not play junior varsity games tonight to allow varsity games to begin earlier, so fans can get home earlier.

Friday’s featured game between Sweet 16 No. 7 Lincoln Charter and No. 1 Cox Mill has been postponed after Cabarrus County Schools canceled all activities, including sporting events for Friday and Saturday. Those two ranked teams will play on Wednesday, Dec. 13.

Union County Schools also canceled all after school activities Friday and all activities, including out-of-county field trips on Saturday.

▪ Two wrestling tournaments were also postponed: the Bunker Hill Bear Duals, scheduled for Friday, was postponed. No make up date has been set.

Friday’s featured games

No. 5 Providence Day (8-3) vs. Montverde (Fla.) Academy (7-0), Sat, 2:15 a.m.: Montverde is the No. 2 ranked team in MaxPreps’ and USA Today’s national polls. The game will feature two players ranked in the top 30 nationally among seniors by ESPN: Chargers point guard Devon Dotson, a Kansas signee, is No. 26. Montverde’s RJ Barrett, the consensus No. 1 player, is heading to Duke. The game is the championship of the first China-US Youth Basketball Specatular in Beijing, China.
