SCC-Sikeston boys game is sold out

Despite last week's winter storm that glazed much of Southeast Missouri with a crippling layer of ice, tickets for the Feb. 11 high school boys basketball game between Scott County Central and Sikeston have sold out.

At 12:10 p.m. Tuesday, a full week before the first boys basketball meeting between the schools in 38 years, the Show Me Center announced all 6,844 tickets for the event had been sold.

The announcement came eight days after tickets first went on sale at 9 a.m. Jan. 23. The Show Me Center box office was not open four of the days during that span, which included two days due to the winter storm.

The game between Scott County Central and Sikeston, both state ranked, will take place at 7:30 p.m. It will be preceded by a boys game between Oran and Saxony Lutheran at 6 p.m. Doors will open at 5 p.m.
