The 3rd District championship games between Mayfield and Graves County were postponed on Thursday due to security concerns.

Mayfield Independent Schools released a statement Thursday night that said the school district had been made aware "of a potential safety concern" related to the district tournament games that were to take place Thursday at Mayfield High School. The statement said that out of an abundance of caution, they decided to postpone the games.

A statement from Graves County Schools said the situation had been resolved with the help of law enforcement.
