The local high schools have released their schedules for the upcoming basketball season.
The Virginia High School League says high school basketball practice will begin December 7 with games commencing by December 21.
Attendance for spectators has been set at 25, but the VHSL said each individual school system can decide if it will allow any fans. So far, neither Montgomery County nor Radford City have said what protocols they will move forward with as basketball begins. Participants, coaches and officials do not count toward that 25 maximum.
Regional playoffs are currently scheduled for Feb. 8-12. There will be no district tournaments this year.
