ENID — There was at least one adult in Enid who wasn’t unhappy about a snowstorm hitting Thursday night and Friday — Enid girls basketball coach Layne Jones.

The storm forced postponement of a Centennial Conference game with Sand Springs at the Mabee Center.

Jones had joked about wanting a postponement with starting center Haley Rasp out until next week because of illness.

The Pacers recently lost guard Ty Washington for the season with a knee injury.

“This give us a chance to get healthy and get well and rested up,’’ said Jones. “We’ll have a little recovery time to re-charge our batteries. That’s not a bad thing.’’

The Pacers were given the day off Friday as classes were canceled for the Enid school system.

“We went longer Thursday than we normally would,’’ Jones said. “I was anticipating we were going to have bad weather so this didn’t hurt us at all.’’

A makeup date has not been determined

Enid’s next scheduled game is next Friday at Oklahoma City Harding Charter Prep.

“I would imagine Haley would be ready by then,’’ Jones said.

Enid boys coach T.J. Scholz said “We’ll be ready to play the next opportunity we have.’’

Enid’s freshman game at Ponca City today has been canceled.

The weather has forced cancelation of Northern Oklahoma College Enid’s women and men’s doubleheader with Hesston College today at the Mabee Center.

Jets coach Greg Shamburg said the games would not be made up.
