CPS meeting almost wrapped up. Teams can begin practices with no physical contact on Monday after 11 a.m. Coaches will be allowed 20 contact days between 7/13 and 8/9. Masks at all times for now (unsure about the outdoor/indoor thing the IHSA just said, will follow up).

The IHSA officially announces the Phase 4 changes we’ve discussed today. Says changes are due to “an increase in positive cases of COVID-19 among high school teams”

CPS just confirmed on the call that athletes socially distancing outside do NOT have to wear masks. So that falls in line with what the IHSA has finally decided today.

Official release from CPS on sports return to play. Also the first public acknowledgement I’ve seen that David Rosengard is the new sports boss.

ICYMI: Massive get for Southern Illinois last night. The Salukis picked up a commitment from one of the best players in the state. @joehoopsreport  has the story:

JJ McCarthy and Landon Morris are gone, but the cupboard isn't bare at Nazareth. Tyler Morris is still a Roadrunner. He's one of the area's most explosive players and a POY contender. @mikeclarkpreps  checks in with Nazareth and more:
