The announcement was made in step with earlier decisions by multiple school districts to implement early dismissals ahead of the storms.

The Maryland Public Secondary Schools Athletic Association said in a release that all previous tickets bought for the Monday game will be valid for Wednesday.

The match will continue to be held at the Chesapeake Employers Insurance Arena, on the University of Maryland's Baltimore campus. The arena is located at 1000 Hilltop Circle.

Wednesday's game is a highly anticipated match as it could be the first time that the Richard Montgomery High School team wins a state title since 1996.

The Class 4A title for the boys teams was won 60-44 on Saturday by James H. Blake High School. The team had faced off against the Walt Whitman boys' team.
