FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — High school basketball tournaments have been postponed in Kentucky and some schools have closed due to the new coronavirus. The girls’ state basketball tournament, already underway, was cut short and next week’s boys’ tournament was also postponed indefinitely. The Kentucky High School Athletic Association made the announcement Thursday just before the Henderson County Lady Colonels were scheduled to take on the Lady Marshals of Marshall County. Meanwhile, several school districts announced that classes were being canceled temporarily due to the virus. Eight cases have been diagnosed in Kentucky. Webster County Schools closed early at 2 pm today not due to illness but because of severe weather.
