LANSING, MI — High school fall sports competitions in the state will be further delayed and are now set to resume play on December 20th. The sports suspension is in conjunction with the state’s partial shutdown to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.
The Michigan High School Athletic Association expressed its frustration with a statement Monday from the group’s Executive Director Mark Uyl:
“We realize the crisis our medical caregivers and first responders are navigating and understand the need to continue the pause. However, the MHSAA had provided a detailed plan to both Governor Whitmer and MDHHS that would have completed fall tournaments with no spectators as safely as possible during the month of December along with allowing winter sport practices to resume.
Uyl Continued: “While we are disappointed in today’s announcement, we will continue to look forward as we remain committed to play three sports seasons to their conclusion. The MHSAA Representative Council will meet on Wednesday of this week to chart out another plan for finishing Fall and restarting Winter.”
