MHSAA: Winter tourneys continue as scheduled

The Michigan High School Athletic Association plans to conduct all remaining winter postseason tournaments as scheduled, the organization said in a press release Wednesday.

“However, based on the recommendations from Gov. Gretchen Whitmer this afternoon,” the statement said, “the MHSAA is finalizing plans that will either prohibit or allow limited spectators through this Saturday’s events.”

The MHSAA said a specific plan and policies for spectators at this weekend’s hockey semifinals and finals, girls gymnastics finals, girls basketball regional finals and boys basketball district games will be made available by 10 a.m. Thursday. Plans for the final two weeks of girls and boys basketball tournaments will be made available Monday.

The statement comes at a time when multiple sporting events, from amateur to professional, have been under possible consideration to be held without fans present, postponed or suspended.

The NBA suspended the remainder of the season Wednesday and the Ivy League canceled its conference basketball tournament.
