All IHSA state tourneys expected to return next school year
According to the IHSA's top official, high school sports will return to their normal format starting in the fall of next year - meaning state tournaments are back on the table.
Craig Anderson, Executive Director of the IHSA, said the board met late last month to discuss the idea of returning sports to a normal format in addition to possibly allowing more fans in the stands.
However, Anderson recognized the fact that there is a possibility that some teams could have to take a step back on their season due to positive COVID-19 tests.
A couple of weeks back, the Illinois Department of Public Health announced that masks would not have to be worn during the competition for low-risk sports.
Anderson said once Illinois reaches Gov. Pritzker's 'bridge phase,' more fans could be allowed in attendance.
