Mary Persons self-quarantines softball team; nothing at John Hancock
The Bulldogs are off to a 4-5 start, but won’t get to improve on that until at least Sept. 17 when they can resume action after a player’s positive test led to the season stoppage on Thursday.
In Sparta, fall action at John Hancock has been postponed for about two weeks as the school moves to online classic.
