Ken Locke Stadium on 4-24-2020
For the final time as a statewide effort, lights were turned on at high school stadiums across the region and Iowa to recognize the loss of the 2020 spring and closures of school for the remainder of the academic year. The Iowa High School Athletic Directors Association invited high schools to light up for the final time at 8:20 Friday evening–or 20:20 military time, to honor the class of 2020. The lights were on for 25 minutes — each representing a day of school missed due to COVID-19. All schools covered by KNIA/KRLS participated. Coming up in May and June, KNIA/KRLS will feature several area high school athletes who missed out on their spring season during our Spring Sports Spotlights.
