The aftermath of the train derailment in East Palestine has forced a team from outside the area to forfeit a girls tournament basketball game.

Crestview Athletic Director Paul Cusick says he was informed that Beachwood was forfeiting Saturday's tournament game because they didn't want to play at Crestview.

School officials at Beachwood asked the OHSAA Northeast District to play the game at a neutral site which was turned down.

The distance between Crestview High School and the site of the derailment is 10 miles.

Crestview advances to the district semi finals next week at Lakeview High School and face the winner of the Rootstown/Mentor Lake Catholic game.
