Mother Nature made her first major appearance of the 2023-24 winter season this past Friday night and disrupted most of the Heart of America basketball schedule.
Most of the HOA, however, was able to get their first games of 2024 played successfully without weather delays this past Tuesday night, but Friday night was a different story.
Despite most of the HOA scheduled to be on the basketball court around the state, Mother Nature had other ideas and the only HOA contest which was able to be played Friday night was Sedgwick playing a non-conference affair against Lyons and the two schools split the doubleheader with the Lady Cardinals winning the opener 37-32, but the Cardinal boys were unable to complete the sweep as they dropped the nightcap 49-46.
