If it takes High School Principal Jerry Wayne standing in corner of the Clinton High School gym on his head for high school sports to happen, then that is what is going to go on for kids to play ball.

While joking, Clinton Schools Superintendent Curt Nettles discussed his appreciation for high school sports being back Tuesday night at Clinton High School as the boy's basketball team opened their pandemic altered season with a home game against Cerro Gordo-Bement. He credits Athletic Director Matt Koeppel for making all the necessary adjustments in the gym for the game to happen.

Falling into IDPH guidance for hosting games and putting together schedules, Athletic Director Matt Koeppel says it has been quite a five or six days since the IHSA last week put the final details out about the seasons, and the IDPH and Governor's office put out details regarding having sports take place.

Koeppel says each school will have its own strategy on allowing fans based on how big their gymnasiums are but notes everyone is trying to be as close to the same as possible.
