A downstate athletic director puts pen to paper and prepares “return to play” proposals for high school sports in Illinois. The calendar would look different and some seasons would switch. Mark Briggs from Roxana High School admits his plans may not be perfect, but says they serve as a good starting point for discussions.

One of Briggs’ proposals would have baseball and softball played in the fall with football played from April through July and high school wrestling from February through April.
