The Illinois High School Association may allow schools with postponed or canceled games to play those games on Monday. As many as 35 Chicago Public Schools games scheduled for this weekend were canceled in the wake of the Jason Van Dyke verdict announced this afternoon. IHSA rules say that teams can play just one game per week but the Executive Director can make exceptions.
UPDATE: All CPS athletic competitions are canceled for Fri, 10/5. All scheduled weekend activities are also canceled. Classes are scheduled to resume on Tues, 10/ 9.
