What this essentially means is that the high school basketball and any other winter sport will not be played until at least January 11.
Several West Virginia athletes spoke out about the decision and expressed sadness about not being able to play until January. West Virginia University target and top player in the state of West Virginia, Isaac McKneely of Poca, said that it’s a very sad time for him and athletes across the state.
