Yup, as was mentioned before with other articles, these basketball teams are showing the leagues and HHSAA that games can be played safely. Congrats to all involved!

This is an example for other schools to take matters into their own hands for all sports and make it happen themselves. Maybe Dan Hale can be a new commissioner for sports right now to help get things started in other sports.

As for the HHSAA, ILH and OIA, can’t anybody there take some notes or work with these schools to learn how to get things done? The excuse of blaming the government for the delays is tired already.

This was no easy feat to pull off. Hats off to the Saint Louis staff. Simply amazing.

Several ILH schools stepped up as well to have boys soccer bubble games – Punahou, Saint Louis, Le Jardin and Damien. Damien entered as a club team.

Refreshing to see these staffs have the courage and determination to give these boys some kind of season. Great parting gift for the seniors.

I have two children who are high school student-athletes in public school. I have no one close to me or my family involved in this basketball league. That being said, I really do admire and appreciate the efforts of all involved in participating in this basketball league and making it happen. This basketball league pushed forward despite the resistance and fear that has been perpetuated by so many forces in regards to covid-19.

In my mind, those that made this league happen are brave and courageous. In my mind, we need more of that here.

Congratulations to Danny Hale and the STL staff for pulling this off. I know they put in a lot of time and effort to pull this off as it was not an easy task by any means.

Just a little curious why you didn’t cover boys soccer as four schools stepped up to the plate: Saint Louis, Punahou, Le Jardine and Damien (I was told they like the basketball team entered as a club team)? Not one word? I’m sure their staffs did a lot of work organizing games. In a time when we need some positive and motivating youth sports news would be nice to hear some other success stories.
