ALBERTVILLE – Wednesday's Inaugural Sand Mountain Showdown between Jacksonville State and Alabama has been canceled due to the threat of inclement weather, Sand Mountain Park and Amphitheater announced Wednesday morning.
 
The game between the Gamecocks and fifth-ranked Crimson Tide was rescheduled for Wednesday after a severe weather threat on the original date of March 30. Officials had to cancel the game after more weather is possible Wednesday afternoon and evening.
