This sucks big time. Two state ranked teams. Here's the reality, imagine getting to the 4th round of the playoffs and having to forfeit because a player has Covid. That's the reality. It's going to happen.

Or imagine that the player(s)/student(s) have trouble recovering from Covid. Do you then say we understood the risk and it was still worth it?
You simply have to follow guidelines. Cameron had a player test positive. He and his close contacts have been quarantined and the rest of the team continues. The game with Lexington will be played this Friday.

That is a fair question. The challenge with starting the season to begin with was and still is to attempt to do it as safely as possible. To do that parents, students and everyone else involved have to adhere to the rules. No one is perfect so you are going to have to accept the fact that you will have a break in those rules. When you break it down to the realistic/probable outcomes, your more than likely left with what we have seen so far. I enjoy football as much as most on this forum, but I wouldn’t have started this season due to the probable outcome which at the end of the day is not worth risking the health of anyone involved in the short or long term.
Obviously, football season started due to accepting that risk. Is the risk to reward ratio good or bad? Too risky in my opinion.
No one is forcing the kids to play. That is a decision for the parents and the kids to make.
There are plenty of long term health risks associated with playing football. CTE being a significant one. Are you outraged that they continue to play considering those other risks?
You bring up another long term health risk that is associated and it is a very valid point. Outraged, is not the word I would use. We are in Texas so I am not surprised. Like I mentioned in my previous post. The risk to reward ratio is not good in my opinion. So is your thought why worry about people that obviously don't really think it's a big deal or even care?
