PANORAMA LEAGUE
Postponements
League tournament openers were postponed until today because Panorama athletic directors met to consider a charge against Wellpinit.
Wellpinit was determined to have used an ineligible player in two wins over Columbia and single wins over Inchelium and Curlew. The Redskins forfeited all four games, causing a shakeup in tourney matchups.
Today’s revised schedule is: South No. 4 Springdale (7-14) at North No. 1 Republic (18-2); North No. 3 Inchelium (7-11) at South No. 2 Selkirk (16-4); North No. 4 Wellpinit (7-12) at South No. 1 St. George’s (18-2); and South No. 3 Northwest Christian (13-7) at North No. 2 Curlew (12-8).
