The Daniel-Seneca basketball games will be played on Wednesday, February 10 in the Daniel High School gym. The girls’ game will begin at 6:00 p.m.; the boys’ game will follow. Both games will be open to the public.
The games, originally scheduled for January 29, were cancelled because of a winter storm. Prior to the cancellation, however, administrators in both Oconee and Pickens school districts made a joint decision to close the games to the public.
Because circumstances leading to that decision have been resolved, administrators will open the February 10 games. Extra security will be in place at both games.
Sharon Huff, Daniel High School principal, said, “Although we feel the issues have been resolved, we will take extra security measures to ensure the safety of those attending. We sincerely appreciate the support that law enforcement officers, parents and community members have given us through this situation. Most of all, I want to thank the students for rallying behind us. We had to make a difficult decision, but I am confident it was the right decision under the circumstances at that time.”
“We are pleased that the game will be open to the public and echo the sentiments of Principal Huff in appreciation for the community support we received in keeping student safety a priority,” said Cliff Roberts, principal of Seneca High School.
