The opening round matchup between Verbena High School and Chilton County High School in the county basketball tournament has been cancelled.

It was scheduled for Jan. 5 at 7 p.m. but will not be played after Verbena administration informed tournament host Isabella High School that members of the boys basketball team are being quarantined and had to withdraw from the competition.

Chilton County will automatically advance to the semifinals where the Tigers will meet Jemison High School on Jan. 7 at 7 p.m. at the CCHS gym.
