Florida Sports To Continue; Alabama Games Canceled Over Swine Flu Fears
May 1, 2009
The Alabama High School Athletic Association has suspended all high school sports, including playoff games, over swine flu fears. In Florida, the Florida High School Athletic Associations says that high school sports will continue for now.
The AHSAA canceled all high school sporting events until at least Tuesday after two swine flu cases were found in North Alabama and a third was identified in Montgomery.
The FHSAA says that games will go on since there are no confirmed swine flu cases in Florida.
“The Association is in contact with the state health department, and will address the issue if/when a case(s) are confirmed,” according to FHSAA. “The FHSAA understands the severity of the situation and wants to keep the student-athletes, coaches, officials and spectators safe.”
