Due to precautions being taken against the COVID-19 virus, all teams other than Gallatin are playing at sites away from Gallatin to limit fan exposure. The remaining tournament schedule and locations are listed below. Games begin at 6 p.m., except for Saturday games which start at 1 p.m.
Pool A contains 4 teams — Gilman City, Maysville, Winston and Trenton. Pool B contains Gallatin, Polo and Hardin-Central, with Braymer having dropped out.
On Monday, the schedule “evolved” when Pool A was reduced to Gallatin, Polo and Hardin Central, due to Braymer’s withdrawal. The result was byes for the three other Pool A teams with Gallatin receiving a bye on Tuesday, Polo on Thursday, and Hardin-Centralon Saturday. In addition, when Trenton was out of school on Monday, the scheduled Pool B Trenton-vs.-Winston matches were held Tuesday at Trenton.
Gallatin did try to pick up a Tuesday game against Mid-Buchanan during tournament week, but it could not be held because of the number of games allowed by MSHSAA per season outside tournament play.
GIT championship will be awarded to girls and boys in both pools with no overall winner determined.
