The IHSA released its broadcast schedule on Monday for IHSAradio.com for the spring championships. Boys and girls track and field, girls soccer, baseball and softball will get the royal treatment.

Track and Field coverage will begin on Friday, May 16 with a recap of opening day results beginning at 4:30 pm central time. The network will then continue on Saturday, May 17 with live coverage of the final day of competition beginning at 11:00 am central time.

The network will follow an identical broadcast schedule for its coverage of the boys track and field finals on Friday, May 23 and Saturday, May 24.

In addition to Track and Field, the network will also have live coverage of the Class A and AA girls soccer semifinal, 3rd place and championship games on Saturday, May 24 and Saturday May 31.

Spring sports coverage will then conclude with full coverage of Class 1A and 2A boys baseball and girls softball on May 30-31, to be followed by the 3A and 4A tournaments for both sports on June 6 and 7.

Any by royal treatment, I mean the state finals will be broadcast on the Internet to an audience of the six people who care enough to listen, but don't care enough to go to the game.

But either way, boys volleyball and girls and boys water polo, tough luck, the IHSA deems you too unimportant to waste audio archive space.
