CONCORD — Thursday was a rough one for student-athletes around the Granite State. Within an hour that afternoon, they learned remote learning will continue through the remainder of this school year (see related story), and that spring sports are officially canceled.
The New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association Executive Director Jeffrey Collins announced on the NHIAA website just before 3 p.m. on the heels of Gov. Chris Sununu announcing remote learning is extended beyond the planned date of May 4 to the end of this school year.
