LAURINBURG — The late burst of winter weather forced all of Scotland High School’s spring sports teams to cancel all of Wednesdays games and matches.

Temperatures will be slightly warmer on Thursday with highs in the mid-50s but once the sun goes down the thermostat will dip into the mid-20s making for a chilly evening of sports.

Baseball will host Anson at 4:30 p.m.; tennis will travel to Hoke at 4 p.m.; soccer will travel to Jack Britt for a 5:30 p.m. game and track is scheduled to compete in a tri-meet with Pinecrest and Lumberton in Southern Pines at 4 p.m.

Depending on the weather, those games and matches could be canceled and rescheduled for a later date.
