IHSAA 2020 Tourney

End of 3
Ankeny 49 - Waukee 31
DeVries with 2 pts. Woof.
Waukee doesn’t have quicks to stay with Ankeny.
Sandfort kid is good, needs to add twenty pounds.
 
Ankeny your 4A champs
78-70
At least I got to watch live tournament basketball during this surreal time.

Go Hawkeyes!
 
They are finishing the Missouri state basketball tourneys. Each team is limited to 150 wrist bands for fans.

Of course they cancelled the STEM state championship my daughter was going to on March 29 and 30.

Makes no sense.
 
Is this a fake game thread or are these games really being played?
Real game thread. Wanted to watch as Iowa had Born in for a few visits.
Sandfort for Waukee has current Hawk offer.
100 fans allowed for each team.
It was a good distraction for me if only for a few hours....
 
I was actually being a bit sarcastic, but it is very strange that IHSAA is allowing fans into the boys games at state right now.

They only allowed 100 from each team and that included team personnel and cheerleaders. Only immediate family were allowed to attend. If you are gonna allow the games to be played to me its only appropriate to allow parents to attend.
 
Wisconsin's WIAA shut things down suddenly and abruptly after Thursday nights games, with the girls at state and the boys in sectionals. As of Friday there were a whopping seventeen confirmed cases of Covid-19 in the state.

Talk about heartbroken kids. I want to give a special shout out to Platteville girls seniors Becca Hoyer, Izzy Carroll, and Sami Martin , as well as Cuba City boys seniors Jackson Noll and Brady Olson. Thanks for the memories.

I believe these decisions were not made rationally. Panic was involved, as well as the need to save face. Even with empty arenas, accept for immediate families, the show was not allowed to go on.

Like I said the kids were heartbroken. Not one member of Cuba City's varsity was in school yesterday. I suspect that the officials who made those decisions will struggle with them emotiinally for a while as well.

Now school is getting banged all over the country. Where do we go from here? The next logical step is restaurants, movie theatres, and retail stores. It is not out of the question to see a Wal-Mart employee at the door with a counter in their hand, keeping people outside u til a customer leaves once they reach designated capacity.

We're past the tipping point now. They will shut this frickin country down before they risk too many people getting sick at once. This is unchartered territory and it is not out of the question that we have seen our last live American sporting event until the NFL starts back up in September. That is in play.
