HS Football & COVID 19

[Mastro]

Dominos are starting to fall. Travis county just shut down sports in schools until Sept 7. No practice, no two-a-days, nada..

I'm guessing UIL will follow NJCAA

My $.02 based on what Guyers head coach said in an interview last week.

Season will get bumped back 1 month....
*Practice starts around 9/3
*2 weeks in pads, then a scrimmage
*Week 1 will be approx. 9/26
*Playoffs and Championship pushed back a week, ending in January

Absolutely no flip/flop of Fall/Spring sports

I kinda feel like something like this will happen. But pushing the season back a month further into flu season seems counter intuitive to me. I guess it is the "we have to do something" mentality. Seems to me it would be better to start on time and maybe knock the playoff teams in half to finish sooner. But who knows.

TAPPS to start football practice Sept. 8. First games week of Sept. 28. Playoffs to start Nov. 14. State finals Dec. 4-5. UIL announcement expected Monday.

From TAPPS on Friday.

No, but I'd think UIL's ruling will apply to Middle and High school. They did restate again today they want to have a football season but haven't released any guidance yet.

Separate note, Georgia is starting football on 9/4. They're another "hot spot" in the country.

Heard UIL isn't announcing anything today. Probably tomorrow afternoon.

I bet this year's influenza cases will be the lowest ever recorded.

A very trying year for everyone.

What was reported on local news the other night (Bryan/CS) was HS football would only play 5 or 6 games, starting around the 1st of Oct, which they said would start right into district play.
