I know there's also a lot of Illinois high school basketball fans on this forum, and some of us with kids who play high school basketball, depressing news here. I think the IHSA will come out with more guidelines tomorrow but sounds like the season is on hold until mid-January at the earliest. (was supposed to start Nov. 16) The IDPH moving basketball from a medium risk to high risk sport really makes it seem doubtful there will be any season. After a fall when basically every state around us played football, volleyball and soccer while Illinois kids sat out, it looks like the same thing is going to happen this winter with basketball. Feel terrible for all the kids who have worked for this moment their whole lives...obviously you can't get it back.
