IHSA Board approves acclimatization plan for return of winter sports

by Bret Beherns / Jan 19, 2021

WCIA -- There's still no schedule or official start date for the return of high school games in any sport in Illinois but the IHSA released an acclimatization time for the return of winter sports on Tuesday. The Board used an email vote to approve a seven-day practice period before competition can begin for badminton, bowling, competitive cheer, competitive dance, girls' gymnastics and boys' swimming and diving.

IHSA leaders met online with athletic directors around the state on Tuesday, following Friday's formal announcement from Gov. Pritzker and the IDPH, unveiling details for high school and youth sports to return to play. Falling COVID-19 positivity rates bring optimism that sports, especially in the lower-and-medium risk categories, will get to suit up before the end of the school year. A new graph was published by the IHSA on Tuesday, providing more detail into what sports can play based on COVID-19 numbers and geography.

Instead of a normal Thursday-Sunday schedule the first two weekends, the First Four games will now be on Thursday, March 18. First round games will be played Friday and Saturday, March 19-20, with second round matchups on Sunday and Monday, March 21-22.

Rod Perry returning to Illini

by Bret Beherns / Jan 19, 2021

CHAMPAIGN (WCIA) -- One year as an Illini wasn't enough for Rod Perry. The Illinois defensive tackle announced on Tuesday he's coming back to Champaign for a sixth season of college football, and second in Orange and Blue. Perry transferred to Illinois from South Carolina State last year as an FCS Preseason All-American, looking for a chance to prove himself at the Power 5 level.

Perry played in six games, recording 17 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss and 2.0 sacks, along with one pass breakup. The All-Big Ten honorable mention selection by both the coaches and media was the highest rated draft-eligible defensive tackle in the Big Ten by Phil Steele.
