The next round of the Vicksburg vs. Warren Central basketball rivalry has been relocated.

Saturday’s games between the two Warren County schools will be played at Vicksburg Junior High, rather than Warren Central Junior High as originally planned. In a release posted to social media, the Vicksburg Warren School District said the game was moved because Vicksburg Junior High has more seating for fans.

Warren Central is playing its home games at Warren Central Junior High this season because its high school gym is being renovated.
