MHSAA Council Takes No Action; Rally Set Friday

EAST LANSING---The Michigan High School Athletic Assocation Representative Coumcil met Wednesday afternoon to go over ways to resume high school sports in the wake of the Whitmer Administration's shut down of activities.
In a statement after the meeting, MHSAA Media and Content Coorinator Geoff Kimmerly said that no action was taken at the meeting.
"With activities remaining paused until Dec. 20, and that announcement coming less than 48 hours ago, today’s Council meeting was purely informational as members consider next steps for Fall and Winter sports that have been put on hold," Kimmerly said. "Executive Director Mark Uyl remains in conversation with representatives of Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s office."
He says that the MHSAA council will convene December 16 to formulate plans for when school sports are allowed to resume activity.
Meanwhile, the group that organized the "Let Them Play" rally back in August that led to football being reinstated the following week, planning another, even larger rally this Friday at the state capitol in Lansing. This is planned for between 3:00 and 5:00 EST on Friday, and organziers are hoping that not only football players, but supporters of all winter sports will also turn out.
