The Greater Western Ohio Conference (GWOC) Superintendents and Executive Board recently met to discuss the upcoming fall athletic season in regards to the COVID-19 pandemic. Since the COVID-19 pandemic there have been many changes to our way of life and the GWOC is adapting to those changes. As such the GWOC has made the decision that all athletic contests played during the fall athletic season will be played against GWOC member schools only. This applies to all sports. This was a difficult decision but one that was made in the best interest of our student-athletes. The primary focus is to provide the student-athletes every opportunity to compete and this decision helps achieve that. While we realize challenges await we will remain flexible and adaptable to inevitable challenges that await as we navigate the pandemic.
Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, all GWOC middle school and high school spring sports have been cancelled. In addition, no practices, games and other events are permitted for any athletic team regardless of the sports season until further notice.
