Less than a week after announcing the cancellation of the fall sports season, the IESA last week announced they were reversing their decision and would allow fall sports to be played under guidance from the Governor's office.

Clinton Athletic Director Matt Koeppel on the WHOW Morning Show Thursday told Regional Radio News, baseball saw over 30 kids tryout and softball was over 20. He believes part of the numbers increase is due to other activities being canceled, like JFL.

Junior high sports can have two competitions per week but they have to be played within a 'COVID-Zone'. Koeppel indicates this be challenging for their scheduling but he believes they will be able to make it work and also points out it will allow plenty of time for make-ups in the event of rainouts.

When competitions begin, for outdoor sports with spectators, Koeppel says they will give spacing priority to their student-athletes and parents will likely have to watch from the fences that outline the fields. He says they'll have things set up for the kids outside the dugouts for baseball and softball.
