COVID-19 2020 HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL SEASON


Recommended Posts

This is the problem with a regular start time. Some local districts are not going to want to start tackle football when cases are going up.  Those local districts might might be more than happy to hold starting practice until August 31st in hopes of cases going down.  I think that you might see some districts balk at a normal start time and cancel out of fear/concern. An abbreviated season might be a compromise that helps local districts feel more at ease with giving  the go ahead to start actual football.  Remember that just because the Governor and the TSSAA say you can play football the final decision lies with the individual school districts and just like Governor Lee's decision and the TSSSA's decisions are being driven by liability concerns so will local districts.  Lower case numbers, hospitalization numbers and deaths would help ease those concerns.

*Please keep your political opinions out of this.

 

Watch the media briefing. Cases are going up because more people are getting tested. The percentage of sick people are staying the same. So you can assume around 9% of people have it at any give time. If you test 100 your going to get 9 positives. If you test 1000 your going to get 90. While that is an increase of 81 people tested positive its not getting worse. You just tested more people. I would suggest everyone watches Bill Lees media briefing when he lets the doctors talk. The numbers arent that bad when she explains it. I feel much better about all this then I did a week ago.

Remember that time when the President ordered a halt to travel from China and other trouble spots and Nancy Pelosi and the reest of the dems called him racist and encouraged her constituents to come to Chinatown and have a huge street party? 

Yeah, didn't thin so.  

POTUS will be fine.  It's the dems who need negative covid news to dominate the news cycle.  Continuing to hide their candidate in his own basement isn't going to work. 

COVID-19 is Global Pandemic Key word is Global. He should have closed down all foreign airline traffic. But he didn’t cause he didn’t want the airline industry be against him,  shocker he is running for re-election.

 

Fact, 40K people flew in from China after the ban.

The Oak Ridge Football Booster are going to start selling two types of Wildcat masks for $ 10 each. I already wear an Atlanta Braves mask every time I go out but will switch over to OR masks as soon as possible.

... a great way to raise money for Booster Clubs.

... helps prevent the spread of the virus along with social distancing and washing hands.

... meets the requirement in many areas that require mandatory mask wearing.

... looks cool as heck representing your favorite high school sports teams.

Best of luck to everybody in their efforts to stay virus free. Be smart, be kind to your fellow American and respect the opinions of others. Please, remember a mask is not a political symbol unless you make it one.

Biased, you mean what you don’t agree with. Cause if I was saying the opposite you’d be loving it. 

No I will not stop.

Take a hint! End the political talk period!! You seem to be trying to get us shut down with a good topic! Give it a rest!!

See the problem you have with me is the same problem Trump has with Dr Fauci. Trump can’t control the narrative if Fauci is telling The Truth. You are trying present a Republican narrative with that article about negative tests not being reported and putting a Ron DeSantis tweet up. But countering your biased narrative with Actual Facts. 

if want to end it then you end your biased opinion

    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game. 
    • No my fight, but ... if they were already college-caliber prior to transferring to BHS, and they already had FBS interest, and they end up at an FBS school, how did Bearden do anything for them?
