METRO-EAST LUTHERAN TO PLAY FIVE GAME SPRING SCHEDULE EIGHT-MAN SCHEDULE: The Metro-East Lutheran eight-man football team will be playing a five game schedule this spring, as the Illinois Eight-Man Football Association has been given permission by the Illinois High School Association to play games outside their COVID-19 districts for the 2021 spring season.
The I8FA will follow all guidelines set forth by both the IHSA and Illinois Department of Public Health, which will allow the season to progress.
The Knights will play at both Bunker Hill and South Fork to open the season, then host Martinsville, travel to Pawnee, and conclude the season at home against Decatur Lutheran. Metro-East was also scheduled to play Carlyle, who had gone to an eight-man team, but the Carlyle School Board decided to opt out of the season.
Dates and times for each of the games have not yet been announced.

MVCHA POSTPONES OPENING OF SEASON TO JANUARY, 2021: The Mississippi Valley Club Hockey Association, the Metro-East high school hockey league, has announced that the start of their season will be delayed to January, 2021, because of ongoing concerns with the COVID-19 pandemic.
The league will begin play on that date, pending the lifting of Level 1 restrictions by the Illinois Department of Public Health. Teams can now begin practicing, under strict guidelines, but games, which usually begin in early to mid-November, are now on hold until the start of the new year.
Edwardsville, who have played the past four seasons in the St. Louis-based Mid-States Club Hockey Association, moved back to the MVCHA for this coming season, due to COVID restrictions imposed by St. Louis County, where the vast majority of teams are located. The 2020-21 MSCHA season currently remains in limbo.
