Cheers: To high school sports. After being shuttered since March because of the coronavirus pandemic, high school athletics will return to Clark County in the coming weeks. Local leagues have announced plans for cross country, boys tennis and boys golf teams to begin practices Feb. 1, with competitions starting the following week. No firm plans have been announced for close-contact team sports such as football and volleyball.
The decision follows modifications to state guidelines governing the pandemic. “We need to provide our students with an outlet and some sense of normalcy,” said Matt Cooke, athletic director at La Center High School. A little bit of normalcy will be cheered by athletes, coaches and parents.
