Bearcats game at Joshua called off

A power outage in Johnson County that affected the city of Joshua led to a cancelation of the Bearcats game against the Owls.

"The power went off in the middle of the game," Bearcats head coach Jamon Copeland said. "We were told it affected the entire city so the game was called off. We were trailing by five points (in the first half) when the power went out."
