Virus won’t stop state basketball tournaments

Officials running Washington’s state high school basketball championships say they are not taking any chances when it comes to the coronavirus outbreak, but have no plans, as of now, to cancel or postpone state tournaments for high school athletes.

The Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA) says it is working closely with the Washington State Department of Health and will continue to receive guidance regarding the state basketball tournaments, including games at the Tacoma Dome where the Camas girls team was scheduled to play on Wednesday, March 4.
