As for IESA, JH sports are still up in the air. They have recently released a statement, with the possibility of bringing back JH BB, SB, and Cross Country. I will keep everyone up to date on any changes that may occur.
Remember, all of this is at the beginning stages, and I'm sure there will be changes that come down from the IHSA and IESA. Thank you to everyone for being patient, as we work through this chaos to do what we can for the young people of our community.
