UIL extends suspension of play until May 4 due to Coronavirus Outbreak

HOUSTON - The University Interscholastic League has pushed a potential return to high school sports being played even farther back.

On Thursday, the UIL announced it would extend its suspension of all UIL-sanctioned activities back to May 4. Previously, the suspension of activities only went until March 30.

"We are working diligently on contingency plans to conduct state championships in each of the activities that have been suspended," said UIL Executive Director Dr. Charles Breithaupt in a press release. "While the immediate future is unclear, we are committed to providing these much-desired activities to all Texas students and will prepare for all possible outcomes, including extended school closures."

A letter from the UIL was sent to all superintendents on Thursday morning announcing they would indeed be pushing the return date back. According to the UIL press release, prior to the return date, they will allow schools a "reasonable acclimatization period" for practices to occur.

"Our goal is to prepare comprehensive communication that will guide and direct schools in correlation with local District Executive Committees on how to proceed with contests," UIL Athletic Director Dr. Susan Elza wrote on the UIL website. "Please keep in mind, due to reduced calendar dates, there will be modifications in qualifying structures and timelines for district and post season events.

"The athletic staff is working diligently to confirm regional and state facility availability."

As for the spring state championships. Boys basketball still remains to be played, soccer was pushed back April 29-May 2, while the other state tournaments and meets remained as originally scheduled.

The UIL has not released a revised schedule of state championship events since the newest news of a May 4 start date.

The Knights enter 2021 seeking the program's 11th crown and sixth in the last eight seasons. Caitlyn Cain is back for her third year as head coach and returns seven starters.

Shortstop Courtney Davis was on pace for a monster 2020 season ending with a .364 batting average and brings speed to the base paths. LeAnn Dromgoole is the ultimate utility player who pitches and can play any position on the field. She swings for the fences at the dish.

Grant Klatt has a record-breaking junior season in the pool for FBCA

HOUSTON - In the summer of 2010, Grant Klatt's swimming career began with his neighborhood summer swim team.

At first, it was just something Klatt could do as a social activity but then his swim skills improved each and every summer. In his fourth summer, he came close to making the summer league All-Stars. But close wouldn't be good enough.

Just like that the competitive fire inside Klatt was lit and hasn't gone out since.
