Erie County programs sidelined due to department of health recommendation

As wrestling season commences for some, there are others who remain idle.

There is an impending lawsuit in which the HoganWillig law firm is representing parents in Erie County who hope to override the county department of health's recommendation "to postpone or cancel wrestling activities" in 2021.

Thursday, a message was posted to the health department's website stating: "The Erie County Department of Health provided a recommendation to NYSPHSAA Section VI to postpone or cancel its spring 2021 wrestling season. This recommendation does not prohibit the activity of wrestling within Erie County, and comports with the data regarding community transmission of COVID-19 and NYSDOH recommendations for high-risk youth sports at the time the recommendation was made."
