GAMECHANGER: All Sports Delayed

As mentioned in a previous article, fall sports at Harborfields were to be delayed. Section XI announced on Friday, September 11, that all sports will be postponed until January of 2021!

With COVID-19, sports seasons will be different. There will be a smaller number of spectators and no locker room use. Section XI Executive Director, Tom Combs said, “While this was a difficult decision, we feel it was the best move for the health and safety of everyone involved.” 

Originally, fall sports were being delayed until September 21, then March 1. The spring sports season was delayed to April 19 and is now being moved to a later date. With the fall sports starting later, all sports seasons are being condensed to fit them in for the school year. 

The seasons are being broken down into 3 sections. The first being winter sports, the season will run from January 4 to February 27. The second season is fall sports which will be held from March 1 to May 1. The final season will be spring sports running from April 26 to June 19. 

Will this be the last time they delay the sports seasons? Or will they change it again?
