Two area districts reaffirmed their intention to play winter high school sports Wednesday night, as the Greenfield School Committee and Frontier Regional School Committee discussed the impending season during virtual meetings.
In Greenfield, the athletic department has conducted virtual practices only this week. While the original winter start date chosen by the PVIAC was Monday, Greenfield Athletic Director Mike Kuchieski explained to the committee Wednesday night that his basketball and hockey teams have been meeting virtually for the first few days of practice.
Kuchieski said the plan is to gather for in-person practices next week, with hockey slated for its first practice on Jan. 18 and basketball to follow Jan. 19. Games have been moved back a week in the Franklin County bubble, with basketball tilts set for Jan. 26 and hockey on Jan. 30.
