There isn't the same levels of contract tracing as there was in spring. Tracing simply cannot keep up because there are so many cases and there aren't enough tracers. We simply don't know who carries this, who is infected but asymptomatic, and who spreads this elsewhere. It is impossible to accurately know this. And without the ability to trace it, it leaves your cited study to be able to say, "Yes, we can't find cases of spreading through sports."
Anyone who understands this is an airborne virus knows that sports with the gasping for air and the forceful exhaling of air would be a breeding ground for the coronavirus. And even when the majority of kids are asymptomatic, they continue to possibly infect others and putting in jeopardy every single person they come in contact with and every single person those people come into contact with.
"Our data show that the number of COVID-19 quarantines following games has been much higher among athletes than the rate among the general student body in schools,” said Jeff Borowy, Chief Operating Officer.
These are all valid. But the difference btw these states and IL is they moved forward with sports and now they have the data to reassess/mitigate. IL has chosen to shutdown and run away from predictable problems rather than embrace them. Even the stories you share are more anecdotal than grounded in real data. How many kids are on respirators? How many are hospitalized from playing sports and contracting Covid? I don't know of anyone. We're past 'abundance of caution.' Thanks for sharing and reading.
"The ‘high-risk’ labeling of football and basketball by the Dark Lord of Lockdowns and his public health servants has zero basis in science or data.
This isn’t a question anymore. We now know this to be true."

The CDC's website, last updated on Dec. 31, still maintains that competition is highest-risk. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/daily-life-coping/playing-sports.html
