If Region 4 moves to Phase 4 mitigation by the weekend, Alton will host Collinsville in three games Saturday, but with only 50 people spectators in the gym.

GODFREY Chris Kusnerick is one to take things in their proper order. The Alton High School athletic director usually doesn’t put the cart before the horse. But this week is different for him, as well as for ADs throughout Illinois Department of Pubic Health’s Region 4, including the entire Southwestern Conference.
The Southeastern Conference has postponed Vanderbilt’s men’s basketball game at Texas A&M on Wednesday night, the second game between the teams postponed this season.
The SEC says this postponement is because of a combination of positive tests, contact tracing and quarantining of people inside Texas A&M’s program. No make-up date has been scheduled.
The first game in Nashville between the teams on Jan. 20 was postponed due to COVID-19 testing, tracing and quarantining with Vanderbilt.

EAST LANSING, MI – Kathy Vruggink Westdorp, an assistant director for the Michigan High School Athletic Association, is one of eight high school association leaders who has been selected to receive a Citation from the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) during this summer’s annual meeting.
The Citation is one of the NFHS’ highest honors and recognizes recipients for their contributions to the NFHS, state high school associations, athletic director and coaching professions, the officiating avocation and fine arts/performing arts programs.
In addition to serving in most of those roles over more than 20 years in Grand Rapids-area schools, Westdorp has been a national leader in a number of efforts since joining the MHSAA staff during the 2003-04 school year.
