ALPENA, Mich. — On Monday, a total of six area teams had their seasons cancelled due to COVID-19 protocols. Four days later, two more area teams got added onto the list. Fairview girls basketball and Au Gres-Sims boys basketball weren’t able to compete in their district final matches. Fairview would’ve faced Mio and Au Gres-Sims would’ve faced Hale.
