The University Interscholastic League announced Friday that all 2019-20 spring activities and state championships are canceled.
The announcement follows the decision from Governor Greg Abbott to keep schools shuttered through the rest of the academic year to help slow the spread of COVID-19. The UIL previously stated the earliest spring activities could resume would be May 4, coinciding with Abbott’s Executive Order.
“Our staff had been working hard on plans to resume activities this spring, but without schools in session, interscholastic activities cannot continue,” UIL Executive Director Dr. Charles Breithaupt said in the statement. “Our highest priority during this challenging time is ensuring the health and safety of our students and communities and making progress in the containment of COVID-19 in Texas. We are now turning our attention to the 2020-2021 school year.”
