MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association Friday morning canceled all remaining games of the state girls basketball tournament, the boys sectional finals and next weekend’s boys tournament because of coronavirus concerns.

The WIAA is following the lead of many professional, collegiate and high school associations who have postponed or canceled events as a result of the pandemic.

“I want the student-athletes and their coaches to know that your school leaders, the WIAA Executive Staff, all our committees and the Board of Control have done everything imaginable to try to provide and preserve these opportunities for you,” Executive Director Dave Anderson said.

The WIAA was informed Thursday the Kohl Center would not be available for the tournament scheduled for March 19-21.
