Varsity Panther Relays canceled
The varsity Panther Relays — scheduled for Thursday, March 29 — were canceled after heavy rain this week caused flooding at Glenn W. Black Stadium, according to the Siloam Springs School District athletics department.
The eighth-grade Panther Relays were held Monday in a light rain, while weather forced the ninth-grade Panther Relays to be held Wednesday. More rain Wednesday night and Thursday morning forced the cancellation, which was announced Thursday afternoon.
