NHIAA makes it official: Winter tournaments cancelled

By Tom King - Staff Writer | Mar 16, 2020

There will be no raising of the title plaque in front of droves of fans for the Bishop Guertin High School girls basketball team.

There will be no chance for the Nashua High School North, South, Merrimack, Alvirne and Hollis Brookline boys basketball teams to take the floor at the University of New Hampshire’s Lundholm Gym in potential Final Four appearances.

The 2019-20 high school winter sports season, to no one’s surprise, is over, per order of the New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association.

“While it was the intention of the NHIAA to play the remaining games left in the tournaments, given the guidelines specified by Governor Sununu, the NHDHHS, and the CDC in response to the escalating public health issue, this plan is no longer feasible,” the NHIAA statement released about 3 p.m. Monday said. “Because of this, the NHIAA has made the difficult decision to cancel the remainder of the 2020 Winter Tournament events.”

More details and local reaction will be forthcoming.
