“We understand the uncertainty of schedule adjustments for all involved, but safety is our top priority. Our goal is to provide all our athletes and schools with an opportunity to compete in a state competition. As much as we value those opportunities, we will not put participants or those families and school communities attending the championships at risk.”

Original Story:

The Virginia High School League has announced they have adjusted their planned schedule to account for the winter storm that will impact the Commonwealth on Wednesday.

“The decision to alter our state schedules was made for the safety of competitors, coaches, officials, tournament management team, fans, and media traveling and attending each of our championship sites. We appreciate our venue’s willingness and flexibility to work with us to host our championships.”
