Coach0001 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 With the Governor and Commissioner of Education giving every local health official the power over each counties ISD's I think that is the final nail in the fall sports season. Travis County has already mandated no in person instruction and no sports until Sept 7th The state will have quiet the hodgepodge of things going on.

Hodgepodge means kids playing pick up games of football on Saturdays instead of organized games on Fridays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixie just finished 13U state tournament and getting ready to finish 14U......... and that’s Dixie. All the AAU baseball hasn’t skipped a beat and same with hoops.

They won’t be the ones who have to make sacrifices. It will be the high schools where sports actually matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if they will still crown a State Champion if some schools do open up their athletic facilities and field teams. I know many counties in West Texas weren't even touched by the virus yet, and they could field teams if their local officials allowed them to.

Vernon Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 I guess I’m confused how this means no sports. Leaving it up to the districts makes more sense to me because not all areas of the state are being hit as hard. Now we just need the districts to realize it’s okay to allow the kids and their families to make the choice to participate or not. I personally don’t think any of the districts should shut down, but districts in Houston, DFW, San Antonio, Austin etc would make much more sense to have more restrictions than more rural areas. Don’t give in to the cowards that are pushing the cancel culture. Write and talk to your superintendents, board members, etc and tell them to take a stand for the kids and let them play! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach0001 Posted July 16, 2020 Author Share Posted July 16, 2020 I wonder once UIL makes the inevitable call If we might see those schools not as affected put together a outlaw schedule and still play? its really going to vary greatly from area to area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach0001 Posted July 16, 2020 Author Share Posted July 16, 2020 Just an epic fail by state leadership imo to cede control of ISDs to mayors etc who have NO idea about running a school. https://www.kens5.com/mobile/article/news/health/coronavirus/san-antonio-to-form-task-force-on-safe-reopening-of-schools/273-dc98e862-b781-442f-a5c5-65f5e133817c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingwolf Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 I don’t have an issue at all with them ceding control. If counties, ISDs, or schools don’t take the field then so be it...let everyone who does fight it out for the state title...it might allow some schools go deeper than ever and some kids get seen that may otherwise get missed... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And wouldn’t it be a shame if around half the schools in the state played a normal football season with no disastrous effects from COVID? I’m ready to play. I have a senior twirler. This is my last chance to see her and her friends and classmates perform under the Friday night lights. And I don’t want to do football with the “social distancing” BS. Part of the greatness of Texas high school football is the atmosphere of a packed stadium. It’s gonna suck for those kids that have performed in front of full crowds for three years to look up and see the stands with people scattered apart. Enough is enough. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the call was made that sports, band could go on without fans in attendance, would you be for it? ****Disclaimer**** I have not heard this is an option, I just want to hear what people think.

There are three different population groups whose safety we must worry about: School kids, faculty and staff, and children's families back home. They each face a different set of risks, some of which are in direct conflict with each other. Let's consider the students, first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started a thread and referenced that study about schools reopening. Decent discussion and some pretty good links referenced if interested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
