The New York State Public High School Athletic Association’s Executive Committee held its first ever quarterly meeting by video teleconference earlier this week.
The Ursuline School, Our Lady of Lourdes, John S. Burke and Albertus Magnus are Catholic high schools in the archdiocese that are among the 788-NYSPHSAA member schools.
The committee approved a proposal to allow high school football teams to play a 10th regular-season game. Our Lady of Lourdes and John S. Burke both field football programs.
Winter and spring championship sites that had their tournaments postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic were given an additional year to host the state championship tournaments. This includes Glens Falls hosting the boys basketball state championships and Troy serving as host to the girls basketball state championships, which will host the respective tournaments through 2023.
The next executive committee meeting is scheduled for July 28 and 29.
