Numerous state championship games are being started earlier with the anticipated winter storm arriving this weekend.

 

The KSHSAA has moved start times for five different championship sites. The 3A state championship in Hutchinson, 2A championship in Salina, 1A state championship in Hays, and 6M championship in Dodge City will all kick off at noon tomorrow afternoon.

 

The two 8M championships will both be played in Newton, with the D1 kick at 10:30 a.m. and the D2 kick at 2:00 p.m. tomorrow.

 

The 6A state championship in Emporia, 5A state championship in Pittsburg, and 4A championship in Topeka all remain unchanged and will kickoff at 1 p.m. tomorrow.

 

Snow is anticipated to get heavier as the day progresses across much of the state, and the change in kick times will allow teams and fans to drive home earlier and avoid the most severe portion of the storm.
