ALTON – The area ice storm forced postponement of Saturday's scheduled Liberty Bank Great Rivers Shootout girls basketball showcase to Monday and a revision of the schedule.
The event was to have taken place beginning Saturday morning at Alton's Redbird Nest with a seven-game card involving teams from both sides of the Mississippi River and a team from Tennessee, but after Alton schools were closed Friday and all weekend events postponed or canceled, AHS officials went to work revising the schedule.
