A high school basketball event scheduled for Hinkle Fieldhouse this weekend has been canceled.

Fans who purchased tickets in advance should contact their local high school for a refund and information about a possible re-scheduling of the game.

The Lebanon and Western Boone boys and girls games have been moved to the Western Boone H.S. gym because of the cancellation. The start times remain the same.
