Lots been made about Sen. Fields' letter to BESE on Mon. BESE not interested in or powered to deal with putting an end to high school athletics. From where the power comes from: LHSAA, Executive Committee, members principals, & superintendent isn't letting that happen, play on!

LHSAA sent a memo to all member principals & ADs at 6:15pm. The state epidemiologist recommended there be a suspension of extracurricular activities due to the new variant. The LHSAA will NOT be issuing a concurrent recommendation for suspension of extracurricular competitions.

Absolutely no validity to the LHSAA shutting down summer workouts. ZERO thought of cancelling fall sports or any sports for that matter. Those were questions posed to this account yesterday. Strike up the late 80s tune again...Don't believe, don't believe, don't believe the hype.
