Boise State University will have all classes be held online on Friday. Depending on how this goes, the state tournament could be impacted. Idaho has not had a case of COVID-19 yet, so I'm hopeful that it is still held as scheduled, but we're on the lookout. If BSU starts to cancel events or continues to hold classes online, we may very likely see cancellation.

Yet you are correct in your analysis. BSU is hosting their classes online for a single day to effectively stress test the system, and see if it's a viable solution. Our state Director is an adjunct at BSU, and he's been keeping us in the loop about the goings-on there. We have a statement on our website and social media saying that we are actively looking at developments on a day-by-day basis.
We have never been in this territory before, so we are navigating it the best way that we can.

Well, I knew it was coming, but it is still quite sad. Our team's last full competition was on February 8th, and we certainly did not think we'd end the season with an invitational in Utah. I do respect the decision to protect our community, and I wish all teams the best of luck in the coming season.
