Coroniavirus Wrecks Sports World Plus HS Baseball In Today’s Sports Update

As the world governments are dealing with how to handle Covid-19, different sports agencies started making major Announcements. The Seattle Mariners’ opening series with the Texas Rangers will not be played in Seattle. A location has yet to be determined. FC Dallas soccer game scheduled to be played in Seattle has been canceled.

The NCAA president has announced both the men and women’s tournaments will be played with limited and essential personnel. Spectators will not be allowed.

Then last night, Utah Jazz player Rudy Gobert tested positive for the coronavirus. Immediately the NBA announced they were suspending the season indefinitely. A stoppage could last for a minimum of two weeks but the time frame is very fluid, a source told Tim Reynolds of The Associated Press. Players from the teams the Jazz played within the past ten days are reportedly being told to self-quarantine, which includes the Cleveland Cavaliers, New York Knicks, Boston Celtics, Detroit Pistons, and Toronto Raptors. The NBA will use the hiatus to determine the next steps for dealing with the pandemic.

On the court, the Mavericks defeated Denver 113-97. Boban Marjanovic had 31 points and 17 Rebounds. Luka Doncic scored 28.

In local baseball, Chisum will be in the New Boston Tournament, North Lamar is at the Frisco Tournament, Paris plays in the White Oak Tournament, and Prairiland is at the Hughes Spring Tournament.

The lone softball game is Prairiland at Anna.

And the Dallas Stars will try to stop a six-game losing streak tonight as they host the Florida Panthers.
