Huntington ISD cancels classes as girls basketball team heads to state

HUNTINGTON, Texas (KTRE) - Classes will be canceled Thursday and Friday so students and staff can attend the Devilettes UIL state tournament game.

The ISD announced on Sunday that no classes would be held on Feb. 29 or Mar. 1 to allow the community to support their girls basketball team. The Devilettes play Columbus at 1:30 p.m. on Thursday in the first 3A semi-final game in the Alamodome.

If they win, they will then take part in the 3A championship on Saturday at 10 a.m., the ISD said.
