The Covid-19 pandemic has now taken away more than a full year of State Championships for high school sports. On Wednesday, the NYSPHSAA announced that there would be no spring sports State Championships for 2021.
After listening to concerns from the 11 #NYSPHSAA sections, the 11 section executive directors and member schools, the NYSPHSAA officers have approved the cancellation of the 2021 NYSPHSAA Spring Championships.

One year ago in March, the New York State Winter Sports Championships came to a halt at the beginning of the pandemic. That spring sports season was cancelled in total. In 2021, there is a plan to play Winter Sports starting this week and fall II sports and then spring sports in truncated seasons. But none of those high school seasons will end with State Championships.
