Basketball Queensland has announced the rest of the Under-12 State Championships as well as the upcoming Under-14 Boys State Championships have been cancelled due to the snap Covid lockdown.

All games at the Under-12s tournament, at Logan’s Cornubia Park Sports Centre and Mt Warren Sports Complex, following the 12pm timeslot will not go ahead to allow parents and families time to prepare for the lockdown, a Basketball Queensland spokesman said.

“While the lockdown is not in place until 6pm tonight, we want to give our participants and families as much time to prepare for the lockdown as possible,” the spokesman said.

“The 12pm games that have already commenced will be allowed to finish.”

A decision has not yet been made on how or if a winner will be announced for each division.

Basketball Queensland have also made the tough decision to cancel the Under-14 Boys State Championships, which was set to start in Toowoomba on Friday.

“The tournament was due to begin this Friday, however with the lockdown in place until at least 6pm on Friday we will not be able to proceed,” the BQ spokesman said.

“We are reviewing the status of the Under-14 Girls State Championships.”

The Under-14 Girls State Championships are scheduled to take place in Mackay on July 7-10.
