On March 16, the Mississippi High School Activities Association suspended athletics and activities — including competition, practice and workouts — for all member schools through March 29 and until further notice.
“This is an rapidly evolving situation which our MHSAA office continues to monitor,” MHSAA Executive Director Don Hinton said. “We are in touch with state government officials, our MHSAA Executive Committee made up of school administrators from around the state as well as our MHSAA Sports Medicine Advisory committee.
