Kansas Cancelling all High School Sports

 

The state of Kansas has canceled its entire spring sports season, becoming one of the first states to put a nix on athletics in their entirety across the country.

In a statement on Wednesday, the KSHSAA said -

“The KSHSAA is committed to the safety of our student-participants and the health of our school communities.

Accordingly, in response to Governor Kelly’s Executive Order regarding the closure and cessation of in-person instruction in all Kansas schools through May 29, 2020, the KSHSAA is cancelling all spring championships, competitions, and festivals for the remainder of this school year.

The KSHSAA recognizes the value of school activities for all students and school communities, but the current situation does not permit the opportunity for school activities to take place in a manner that is consistent with the very reason school activities exist."

This will end the career of every senior who plays a spring sport in the Sunflower State.
