Preparing for a region basketball tournament is hard enough for those involved without dealing with a winter storm that is expected to dump snow and ice throughout Northeast Georgia this week. Now, everyone is scrambling to put contingency plans in place to get these games done in local regions before the Feb. 17 deadline. With Hall County Schools cancelled today and the threat of snow and ice forecasted through Thursday, most coaches are not planning on playing their first region tournament game until as late as Friday.
