Yesterday, the IHSA met to discuss the timeline of winter sports, as well as other topics involving extracurricular activities in the state of Illinois. At this time, the IHSA stated that they have "no expectation to begin any winter sports seasons until 2021, but will remain agile in their preparation and willingness to adapt should a window present itself sooner." With this announcement, any games currently scheduled for the two high school winter sports of boys and girls basketball will be cancelled through the month of December. A full summary of the IHSA announcement can be found at the following link:
