Boys soccer regular season extended through Monday

Because the past days’ weather has impacted the availability of fields and officials, the regular season for boys soccer will be extended through Monday, April 19. As a result, the following adjustments have been made to the postseason calendar.

• The CHSAA state pairings meeting will take place and postseason brackets will be released on Tuesday, April 20.
• Classes 3A-5A may play first-round games on either Wednesday, April 21, or Thursday, April 22. Both schools must mutually agree to play on Wednesday, April 21, or the game will default to Thursday, April 22.
• Classes 2A-5A quarterfinal games will take place on Saturday, April 24. Class 5A may play quarterfinal games on Friday, April 23, if both teams mutually agree on that date. Otherwise, games will default to Saturday, April 24.
• There will be no changes to the second week of the postseason calendar.

“Due to the lack of officials and field availability brought on by the unexpected winter storm across the state, the decision was made to extend the regular season for boys soccer to Monday, April 19,” said Justin Saylor, CHSAA assistant commissioner overseeing boys soccer.
