Pete Gordon and Rick Hayes sat down together Friday morning to discuss some of the hot button topics in IHSA basketball right now, looking back at Coach Gordon's first year at West Frankfort after coming from Thompsonville, and look forward to this coming year with the hopes basketball actually does happen in Illinois.

 

IHSA Executive Director Craig Anderson spoke with Matt Varney about some of the burning questions surrounding Illinois High School Athletics during the era of COVID-19.  Why must IHSA ask for control of decision-making back when they are not a government entity? How can basketball players play while being expected to wear a face mask?  Is there any hope for fall sports like football, volleyball, and boy's soccer returning this fall?  All those and more questions were answered in this interview.
