SALEM, MA — Saturday's forecast of harsh winds, bitter wind chills, and even the possibility of snow in the air has forced the planned Salem High Championship Rolling Rally to conclude indoors at Salem High.
The championship rally — which was to happen in Salem Common — will now take place inside the Salem High fieldhouse at 11:45 a.m. following the parade.
The 11 a.m. parade and ensuing rally will celebrate the boys basketball program's first state title in 31 years on March 14 with a 57-51 victory against Hanover.
