There will be no state tournament for 2020 fall sports in Illinois. The Illinois High School Athletics Board of Directors announced the decision yesterday. Geographically-based regional tournaments will be held in each sport instead. The decision affects boys and girls golf, boys and girls cross country, girls swimming, and girls tennis.
Last month the IHSA announced sports like Football, boys soccer and girls volleyball will be moved from the fall to the spring. (1340 WJOL-News)
