Beshear to allow fall sports to move ahead

Fall high school sports will happen in the Commonwealth, at least for now.

Governor Andy Beshear announced yesterday that he would not over turn the KHSAA’s decision to move forward with sports, saying other leaders, like the board, have to take responsibility too.

Practices began this week, with games beginning September 7. Football begins their season September 11th.
