John Marshall High School Athletics

COVID-19 Schedule Changes:
As announced on Wed March 25th, the closure of in person classes has been extended thru May 4th. The Minnesota State HS League (MSHSL) announced Wednesday, March 25th, that there will be no athletic activities (practices) during the time schools remain closed. They have not cancelled the Spring season at this time, but it does mean no practice, gatherings, games until at least May 5th.  See the latest MSHSL announcements around COVID-19 here.

Pratice Suspended
JM Softball practice will remain suspended until schools are re-opened and as allowed by the state high school league.  As of now the suspension is in place until May 5th. Stay tuned to our website for updates.

Although it is heart breaking to all of us not to be together, practicing, and competing as a team/family -- the health and safety of our families, healthcare workers, and community must be the priority, Please follow guidance on staying home, social distancing, hand washing, and help keep yourself and our community safe. We love you and hope to be back together sooner than later!
