Yesterday the Phoenix Union High school District announced that it has postponed all fall sports until further notice due to Covid-19. None of the 17 High Schools have met the state's benchmarks to reopen. The important thing here is that it is postponed and not canceled.
District Athletic Director Dr. Zack Munoz was on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM this morning with the legend Kevin McCabe and defended the districts stance on this issue. Munoz said "We looked at our community, our zip codes are the highest in the entire state." Munoz was referring to the soaring numbers in the great Phoenix area, where his schools are located. Munoz later went on to say that fall sports will return when benchmarks get to the point where it is safe for the students to return.
Currently the district is doing online learning and will continue to do so until at least fall break, Munoz said. Fall break usually is Mid-October for the Phoenix Union High Schools. Many people want to see High School sports return, but I think we can all agree that we would rather see it return safely.
When will that be? No one knows, so for now we have to play the waiting game.
