High School
High school girls basketball quarterfinals will be played tonight – except for one. Because of the aftereffects of the recent storm, Ishpeming’s game against Inland Lakes has been postponed until tomorrow, and has been moved from Gladstone High School to Gaylord High School. The relocation shortens the trip to Lansing for the winner, which will play either Morenci or Kingston in a semifinal game Friday.
