Mother Nature has shown she is not a basketball fan with the recent winter storms causing havoc on Trigg County's basketball schedules.
And unless some frantic scheduling is made in the next two weeks, the number of February games will be as low as its been in recent years.
With tonight's postponement of Trigg's game at Dawson Springs, the Wildcats will have four regular season February games if they do not reschedule it. Last year they had seven. The four games would be the fewest in Febraury since 1943 when they only played two games in a limited schedule. Trigg played five February games in 1944.
In 2001, Trigg County lost the final week of the regular season to snow and went nine days without a game before losing to Caldwell County in the first round of the district tournament.
While the Dawson Springs is likely to be rescheduled, it is unlikely the Feb. 1 doubleheader with Stewart County, Tennessee will be made up. Also in limbo is the Jan. 29 doubleheader at Fort Campbell.
In the past, Trigg County has scheduled late games on the Saturday before the district tournament. The last time was in 1996 when they beat St. Mary. That was their fourth game in five days, and Trigg went on to lose to Lyon County in the first round of the district tournament a few days later.
For the Lady Wildcats, they have six February games scheduled not including a possible make up game with UHA from tonight so the scheduling doesn't appear to be an issue.
