(LaPorte) - Some LaPorte High School sports have been sidelined before they even began. Monday was supposed to have been the first official day for most fall athletes, but word went out Sunday night that coronavirus had struck again.
Athletic Director Ed Gilliland sent a communication to families that positive COVID-19 tests had been reported in the boys’ tennis and football programs. Those sports, along with wrestling, have been shut down until further notice.
School officials say they are working with the county health department to investigate the cases and determine when practices may resume.
It’s the second such shutdown in recent days. New Prairie’s football program was sacked by coronavirus on Friday and will not return the field until Wednesday. Michigan City High School resumed their athletic training last week after a 10-day layoff.
