From High School Athletic Director Chance Young:

Mississinewa Community Schools will work closely with the Grant County Health Department, the IHSAA, and the Governor’s Office to determine the amount of spectators that will be permitted at each of our contests.  These guidelines are based on the current infection rates and spread of the COVID-19 virus in our county. The guidelines will be evaluated on a continuous basis by all parties involved and are subject to change throughout the season.
