Michigan HS sports group says no to Whitmer call for 2-week break: ‘We’re going to play’

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on Friday called for school sports to halt games for two weeks to help stop the spread of the coronavirus. 

Butt the governor’s request was not an order – so the head of the state’s high school sports association says the games will go on as scheduled, unless local districts opt out. "We’re going to play two days of basketball and really make no changes for the spring," 

Mark Uyl, executive director of the Michigan High School Athletic Association said in response to Whitmer, according to the Detroit Free Press. 
 
"We followed the orders – every order – going back to July," Uyl continued. "Whenever the orders have allowed us to play, we’ve played. So, obviously, local schools will have decisions to make, it could be on a league-wide basis. But once we get through basketball tomorrow night, everything is outdoors
