the lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer
~2 samuel 22:2~
From CCS Athletic Director, Mrs. Fuiten:
Due to the current rise of positive cases in Logan County, and the number of students quarantining in the co-op schools, all open gym activities are postponed until at least December 7th. We do not want to unnecessarily spread cases from school to school, especially with the holidays coming up. We will reevaluate before December 7th and set up a new schedule. This is a school decision only. IESA and the Diocese of Peoria are still making decisions about the upcoming season. We will email with further updates as they become available.

Boy's Basketball
Due to COVID-19, the boy's basketball season is scheduled to start January 4th (first practice), games may begin January 16th, and the regional tournament is February 20, 22-26 (7th grade) and February 27, March 1-5 (8th grade). The regular season schedule is limited to a 15 game maximum.
With the announcement from IHSA, defying the IDPH and Governor’s orders to change the basketball season, IESA quickly sent a follow-up email to all schools. IESA is going to continue to follow the guidance of IDPH for now. Since we co-op with CCS, they also have to follow the guidance of the Diocese of Peoria, and they are waiting to talk to their legal team before making any decisions.
Until they get the green light from IESA and the Diocese, all open gyms/practices are on hold.

The IESA is allowing “contact days” or open gyms throughout November and December.
There are some restrictions regarding open gym. Here are the highlights:
#1 - Players MUST have a COVID waiver signed to participate in open gyms. Waivers will be handed out to the players at the first open gym and a player will not be allowed to participate in subsequent open gyms until they have returned their waiver.
#2 - Players will not be allowed to use the locker room. They should come to open gym with their practice clothes already on. The only exception to this is for the CCS students when there is practice right after school.
#3 - Players will need to bring their own water bottle. We have new water bottle filling stations for players to use.
#4 - Face masks MUST be worn at all times for the entire duration of open gym.
