The No. 1-seeded Jonathan Alder Pioneers' Division IV tournament opener against No. 18 Cristo Rey Columbus has been moved up a day from Friday to Thursday at 7 p.m. due to the school hosting boys and girls sectional wrestling tournaments on Friday.

Why it matters

The details

The basketball game, originally scheduled for Friday at 7 p.m. on the Pioneers' home court, has been moved to Thursday at the same time. The reason for the change is that Jonathan Alder officials will be setting up the gym on Friday for the boys and girls sectional wrestling tournaments that will be held on Saturday and Sunday.

  • The basketball game was originally scheduled for Friday, February 28, 2026 at 7 p.m.
