Pennsylvania high schools to have fall sports after Zach Ertz, others urge Gov. Tom Wolf to reverse course

Pennsylvania high school student-athletes will now be able to participate in fall sports this year after the PIAA reversed course on canceling all sports until 2021.

The move went against the wishes of Governor Tom Wolf.

Eagles star tight end Zach Ertz and other athletes around the state spoke out after Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf recommended in early August that high school sports in the state be canceled until 2021.

The Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association, which is the governing body of high school sports in the state, had initially announced a two-week delay to the start of fall sports.

The PIAA Board of Directors voted on Friday to plan for the start of high school sports in the state on Aug. 24.
