🏀❄️ SISTER SHEILA TOURNAMENT UPDATE: With a travel advisory in effect because of the lake effect weather system moving through our region today and into the next few days, this will affect travel of our teams, especially from the Southtowns as well as our referee.

Out of an abundance of caution we are postponing tonight's finals games. Once a new date and time are confirmed for the games we will let everyone know. Stay safe and warm everyone!
