The Georgia state basketball finals capped the winter sports season last week, but the coronavirus outbreak has Georgia High School Association officials looking toward the spring sports season.
The GHSA recommended Thursday "all member schools suspend spring sports activities until further notice."
"The regular season belongs to the schools themselves," Dr. Robin Hines, Executive Director of the GHSA,
said in a statement. "We can only recommend that they suspend playing. The final decision will rest with the local school systems, but we hope they heed the Governor's and the GHSA's recommendations."
