This shouldn’t come as a surprise, but the Kentucky High School Athletic Association (KHSAA) just announced that all spring sports have been canceled and the 2020 state basketball tournaments will not resume. The Girls Sweet 16 was suspended due to the pandemic and the Boys Sweet 16 was scheduled to begin the following week. The announcement follows yesterday’s news that Kentucky public schools will be closed to in-person learning for the remainder of the 2019-20 school year.
“We have until this point purposely taken a measured approach to the resumption of our basketball events and consideration of the ending of the spring seasons for sports and sport-activities,” KHSAA Commissioner Julian Tackett said in a statement on the KHSAA website.
