High school sports pushed back again

The ongoing COVID-19 public health crisis has, once again, thrown a wrench into the 2020-21 high school sports seasons.

In July, the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association, which dictates high school sports schedules in the state, postponed several fall sports, including football, girls soccer and volleyball until early spring 2021, and moved other fall sports — cross country, slowpitch softball, boys golf and boys tennis — to an alternative schedule that would have allowed some practice and competition during the fall.
