From The Sun's Katherine Dunn:

During basketball season, snow and ice are sure to interfere with the best laid plans of tournament officials once in a while and this is one of those times.

This week’s Interscholastic Athletic Association of Maryland girls basketball tournament has been shuffled a bit, but it’s in good shape if the freezing precipitation stays away at least until Monday.

Any unplayed quarterfinals will be completed tomorrow and the semifinals (with one exception) on Friday. The finals are still set for Sunday.

In the A Conference, defending champion St. Frances is the only team to make it through the quarterfinals so far, beating Roland Park, 67-17 yesterday, while most schools outside the city canceled classes. Now, the No. 2 Panthers have to wait for everyone else to catch up.

That should happen tomorrow when the rest of the games are scheduled to be made up: St. Paul’s at No. 1 Seton Keough, Spalding at No. 12 Mercy, and No. 11 Towson Catholic at No. 15 McDonogh. Tip off for each is 5:30 p.m.

In the B Conference, top-seeded Severn had a bye through to the semifinals and the No. 13 Admirals will have to wait until Friday to get back in action. Bryn Mawr and Pallotti are set to play today, but John Carroll-Maryvale and Chapelgate-Mount de Sales have to wait until tomorrow.

In the C Conference, Park and Beth Tfiloh are right on schedule, getting their quarterfinal games in on Tuesday. Because Beth Tfiloh cannot play on Friday night, the game will go tomorrow at Park at 5:30. Garrison Forest and Annapolis Area Christian School will play today with Lutheran and Friends going tomorrow and their semifinal on Friday.

The finals are still set for Sunday at Villa Julie – B Conference at 3 p.m., A Conference at 5 p.m. and C Conference at 7 p.m. Tournament officials are working on a contingency plan just in case Mother Nature interferes again on Sunday.
