The Illinois Elementary School Association has announced that due to the ongoing Tier 3 mitigations against COVID-19 by the state, it is keeping all IESA school activities on pause till further notice. with no practices or contests allowed. That means that IESA boys basketball practices scheduled to begin on Monday January 4th will not start on that date. IESA girls volleyball will also be paused from starting on January 11th till further notice. Meanwhile there are reports that it does not appear as through the Illinois High School Association will be meeting by the end of the week with the Department of Public Health or the Governor’s Office as planned.
