CHARLOTTE — The National Junior College Athletic Association announced on Monday that most fall sports this year would be pushed to the spring of 2021 and the start of all winter sports will take place starting in January. NJCAA president Christopher Parker says their greatest focus is and alway has been providing the best opportunity for student-athletes, and through a unified effort from the Presidential Advisory Council, the Board of Regents and leadership staff, the most recent plan of action provides a path that keeps student-athletes competing at the highest level with proper safety measures in place. All close-contact fall sports, including football, soccer and court volleyball will move to spring, while cross country will remain on their original schedule. All winter sports will begin in January with a majority of championship seasons moved from March to April. That includes basketball, wrestling, and swimming. Spring sports will remain intact with some minor adjustments to dates.

 

ST. PAUL (AP) — The Minnesota Wild have made Dean Evason their full-time head coach. The club signed him to a two-year contract extension at the commencement of training camp for the restarted NHL season. Evason’s deal will expire after the 2021-22 season. The 55-year-old was promoted to interim coach on Feb. 14 when Bruce Boudreau was fired. The Wild went 8-4 under him until the virus outbreak prompted the league to shut down. Minnesota will play Vancouver in the qualifying round of the 24-team tournament. The best-of-five series begins on Aug. 2.
