A pair of St. Joseph girls' high school basketball teams are quarantined due to COVID-19, resulting in a handful of area games being postponed.

The Bishop LeBlond Lady Eagles' (12-4) Thursday night matchup at Maryville (12-1) has been postponed, per LeBlond athletic director Michael Evans on Twitter.

Evans says the makeup date for the game against the Spoofhounds is Feb. 3 with the JV game starting things off at 5:30 p.m.

LeBlond was most recently in action this past Tuesday, winning 41-39 at Falls City, NE.

On Thursday morning, Benton High School activities director Brett Goodwin announced on Twitter that the Cardinals' girls' basketball team is quarantined for 10 days, and will not partake in the rest of the Basehor-Linwood tournament this week, or any of the Cameron tournament next week. 

Benton (6-5) last played Olathe West Tuesday, losing 58-52. The Cardinals' next scheduled game will be against No. 10 Cameron (13-2) on Monday, Feb. 1.
