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.

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.

    • Did this happen? Does anyone know? Ripley has their HC job posted on the bulletin board over the weekend.
    • Coalfield definitely isn't the same team they've had the past few years. They are still the favorites to make it out of their region because of their pitching. They have 1 arm that sits low to mid 80s and 2 other arms that are mid to high 70s with good off speed stuff. If you can avoid their top 3 bats in their lineup then you have a shot to beat them. Their 4-9 hitters are average at best. Wartburg's ace was able to shut them down last week in the game Wartburg won 4-2. 
    • It is the longest season. Plus, 30 games a year. No Christmas break. I would say basketball is the most time consuming. 
    • No movement on Chester? South Gibson? Gibson County?
    • Winfree's senior year was the season she needed to secure more college interest. That opportunity was taken away from her. A lot of false assumptions can be made about what happened and what the options are. Unfortunately, the former coach and administration did not allow Winfree to have due process. A lawsuit was filed for a reason, and it will run its course by people who conduct discovery and take depositions. Unless the parties settle out of court, a lot of the pertinent issues will come to the public surface. I wrote about many of the issues here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/11/17/grounds-for-investigation-and-suspension/ I interviewed Winfree after she was dismissed from the team and wrote about it here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/12/01/a-new-interview-with-sable-winfree/ Winfree had been on teams in Warren County since the fourth grade and never been dismissed from a team. The real questions are why was Winfree dismissed from the team, and why the administration backed a coach whom they did not rehire.
