Recently there has been talk concerning cancelling Louisiana high school sports this fall. Now the state governing body for high school athletics, the Louisiana High School Athletic Association has said they are fully committed to Fall Sports.
In a memorandum addressed to Member School Principals, Athletic Directors, Coaches and Officials from LHSAA Executive Director Eddie Bonine, he said, “Now, more than ever, we are reminded that our communities need high school sports. Interscholastic competition supports the physical, emotional and mental well-being of student-athletes across Louisiana.
“The LHSAA is fully committed to the safe return of high school athletics this fall. We encourage member schools to follow LHSAA Sports Medicine Advisory Committee Guidelines to ensure the safety of our student-athletes, coaches, and administrators.
“Reopening high school sports depends on all of us working together.”
Red River High is scheduled to open the 2010 campaign at home with a scrimmage with Bossier on August 21st and a jamboree with Loyola on August 28th. Both of those will be played in the new stadium. The regular schedule begins on the road September 4th at Haughton.
