Advertiser Staff
Hawai'i's high school girls basketball, softball and boys volleyball seasons will be moved to align with college schedules beginning in the 2008-09 school year, after a Hawai'i High School Athletic Association executive board approved the changes in its quarterly meeting today.Girls basketball will move from the spring to winter, softball will be moved from winter to spring and boys volleyball will move from fall to spring.
The decision comes just 24 days after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal of a lower court decision that ruled the Michigan High School Athletic Association's scheduling of girls basketball in the fall months discriminated against girls. It forced Michigan to move the girls season to winter, same as in 48 other states.
