needs programming, and could provide live IA high school baseball/softball.
Keep in mind, according to
@IHSAA
&
@IGHSAU
, only 1 media member allowed in press box per game, and none in dugouts, but with proper social distancing, we expect schools will help with coverage.
Your Johnston Dragons are the 2021 State Championship runner up. Congrats to these boys on a fantastic season and thank you seniors for your leadership and impact that will last a lifetime.
