The Muldrow basketball teams had both of last week’s NOAA Conference road games snowed out — at Roland on Jan. 27 and last Friday night at Stilwell.
The Roland road games were slated to be made up last Saturday afternoon at the Ranger Dome, but the Stilwell road games were postponed until 6 and 7:30 p.m. Feb. 9 at Stilwell Activity Center.
Editor’s Note: Look for the details about last Saturday afternoon’s “Battle of 64” basketball games as well as Friday night’s Roland home conference games against Checotah and last weekend’s Maverick Conference Wrestling Tournament, which took place in Fort Gibson, in next week’s edition.
