Regional play halted at the Storm Cellar

The play-in game of the Bureau Valley 2A regional has come down to 65 seconds.

Hall held a 46-41 lead when play was finally suspended Monday with an ongoing power outage due to the sudden blizzard blowing across Bureau County that knocked down power lines in the area. Initially gym lights were flickering in an on and off sequence that was more suitable for disco than basketball. While BV officials were able to turn off the bank of flickering lights on each side of the gym, game officials deemed there was insufficient lighting to proceed courtside.

As a result, the game was suspended until 6 p.m. Tuesday with Hall holding the 46-41 with the Red Devils' Danny Nolasco set to return to the free-throw line for the second of two free throws with 1:05 left to play. Nolasco missed his first attempt.
