KFBD Sportscast For Wed Mar 11

WITH THE MSHSAA STATE BASKETBALL SEMI FINALS AND FINALS IN CLASSES 1, 2, AND 3 SET TO START TOMORROW IN SPRINGFIELD, THE ASSOCIATION SENT OUT A MEMO TO ALL MEMBER SCHOOLS IN THE STATE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, KERWIN URHAHN……IT’S POSTED ON THEIR WEB SITE AND STATES…

MSHSAA Member Schools,

We are paying attention to the latest news regarding the Coronavirus and any information being circulated by the Center for Disease Control. (THERE IS A LINK ON THEIR WEB SITE, MSHSAA.ORG) that provides guidance for groups and businesses. There is a section for schools on the link.

The CDC guidance, SAYS, “Schools should continue to collaborate, share information, and review plans with local health officials to help protect the whole school community, including those with special health needs.”

MEESHA HAS contacted the Missouri Health Department and at this time, there are no restrictions or requirements to stop activities with large groups of people. We are developing contingency plans for the possible effects of school closures on the state playoffs, your spring sport practices and/or contests, and are monitoring COVID-19 developments closely.

THERE’S ALSO A LINK TO THE MO Department of Health and Senior Services….

Lastly, you can never go wrong with practicing good hygiene and teaching your students to do the same. We will certainly keep you informed as to any new information we receive from these organizations, or other respectable sources.

Respectfully,
Dr. Kerwin Urhahn
MSHSAA Executive Director
