The St. Joseph Sports Commission announced Thursday that all Holiday Hoops Games scheduled for Thursday at Civic Arena have been canceled due to inclement weather.

The Benton/Lincoln Prep boys' and girls' doubleheader has been rescheduled for Friday with girls tip at 12 p.m. and boys at 1:30. The St. Joseph Sports Commission will seek to reschedule the other four games at a later date in January or February if possible.

St. Joseph Christian and Stewartsville/Osborn were scheduled to play a boys and girls' doubleheader Thursday. The Bishop LeBlond boys were scheduled to face West Platte, while the LeBlond girls were going to face Schuyler County Thursday as well.

Wednesday's results are below.
East Buchanan 47 DeKalb 16 (girls)
East Buchanan 62 Northland Christian 41 (boys)
North Platte 60 East Atchison 33 (girls)
North Platte 64 East Atchison 56 (boys)
Central 65 Lafayette 56 (girls)
Lafayette 52 Central 50 (boys)

Full coverage of the Central/Lafayette doubleheader can be found here. Tickets for Friday's games in St. Joseph will go on sale at the arena box one hour prior to tip.

This wasn't the only high school basketball event impacted by weather this week. Twelve Courts of Christmas canceled all games for Thursday at Hyvee Arena in Kansas City, as did the NCMC tournament in Trenton.
