According to the Northwest Herald, Athletic Director Bruce Blumer (not a member of the HEA so he's still on the job) said that some schools will try to make up some games, but it is unclear whether the IHSA will accept the outcomes toward conference standings in the Fox Valley Athletic Conference.

How's it feel, HEA leaders? Oh, that's right. None of you have high school athletes who have been training since summer only to have their games this week cancelled through absolutely no fault of their own.
