Kids having a partial sports season is better than kids not having a sports season.

That is the message from Clinton Schools Athletic Director Matt Koeppel who indicates everyone was disappointed when the IESA canceled the fall sports season, though they ultimately reversed that decision within days. He believes having some sports is better than having no sports.

The junior high competition season begins this week. Koeppel anticipates hiccups ahead but indicates they will do everything they can to make sure their kids have a fall sports season.
