Winter sports are a go in Minnesota.

The Minnesota State High School League approved a maximized winter season with a 30% reduction in contests, according to the MSHSL's John Millea.
The MSHSL voted on a season of 18 games for boys and girls basketball, instead of the normal 26-game schedule.
While the MSHSL didn't discuss the Winter postseason, they did make the decision to not have anything played after section championships this fall.
The COIVD-19 pandemic has changed how high school sports have been and will be played for the 2020 -2021 school year.
To learn more about what goes into the planning, the execution, and the quick turn around of the Cross Country, Soccer, Football, and Volleyball seasons, join us for the Saturday Sports Special on 103.1 KFIL as we talk to three area Athletic Directors and Coaches about how COVID-19 has effected their schools and athletic events. The show will take place on Saturday, October 3rd at 10 a.m.
