All boys and girls varsity basketball games originally scheduled for Friday will now be played Thursday, Jan. 22.
All Saturday varsity basketball games will be played Friday, Jan. 23.
All subvarsity boys and girls basketball games scheduled for Friday are canceled and will not be rescheduled.
All varsity soccer matches scheduled for Saturday have been moved to Thursday, Jan. 22.

District officials say all games taking place on school campuses will be closed to spectators. Families are encouraged to check directly with coaches for updated game times and locations.
HISD is urging parents and guardians to ensure their contact information is current in ParentSquare, which the district uses to send alerts about closures, delays, or additional schedule changes.
