Late start to the season

[Goldenpride]

If all this Covid-19 stuff continues and the boys can’t practice for a good part of June do y’all think TSSAA will stretch the start to the season out for more preparation for the upcoming season?

I just hope we have a season.  I have my concerns about the likelihood of the of any interscholastic athletics next year.

I’m thinking positive about it, but you’re right there very might not be a season

We'll have a season. The curve seems to be flattening. Some teams will be behind many didn't even have a spring practice. This season will be owned by the more senior-laden teams.

We didn’t, and this was gonna be a big spring because we are losing so much. I’m confident we will have one, but I don’t see it early into August

The curve flattening doesn't mean what most people thinks it does and that is on Fauci in a large part.  The curve has to be suppressed close to zero for it to do any good given that death is involved.  Otherwise, it will just rebound.  That also assumes their models are correct.  Fauci got it wrong in late January when he said it wouldn't be a problem for the U.S. and Europe.  Cuomo was cocky on his interview March 2 saying the were New Yawkers and were immune to this thing. Now suddenly Cuomo is an expert and Fauci is playing the other extreme.

Fauci is losing a lot of credibility for this pandemic.

 

Also, from the football side, as long as July doesn't get "harmed" I believe they'll play in August.

I think TSSAA could let them tack on "spring" prior to the practice for the regular season.  The down side could be injuries during training.  Perhaps just start up like normal.  There have been teams that skipped a spring the past 8 years and actually did good.  SP (Ross Rickied), Jasper (TSSAA sanctions) and Whitwell (coaching changes) come to mind.

 

Edit:  Maybe add an additional week leading up to opening for the incoming freshmen.

Greenback hasnt had one the least 4 out of 5 years.Off season work is in my opinion more important.Most kids start playing at a much younger age now and know fundamentals.We also made the finals 4 out of 5 years also.

I agree. South Pitt waited til the summer to start orchestrating and recruiting. Had they started sooner maybe they could have beaten greenback at least once.
