They will play HS football in Alabama.  The Virginia thing shouldn't surprise anyone who has been paying attention.....  The kids should have the opportunity to play football.  If parents and/or athletes are worried, don't play!  

I cannot find an article that says otherwise.  For some reason I cannot paste the URL to the article I was reading.

I think every school should give it their best shot now. With people ignoring how contagious it is, I don’t see things getting better until the vaccine and who knows how long that will be. Maybe teams can get lucky and get thru the season, or maybe not.

Every precaution should be taken. Lives should not be traded for football. It’s gonna be tough.

I know some of you think the fall season will be or should be played but if the "fall season" is cancelled and TSSAA adopts the Virginia plan would you support it? Would you let your son play a shortened "spring season". 

Keep in mind the Virginia plan allows for all three seasons but obviously shortens each one.

Quit bringing up a vaccine!! About  half the population won’t even take it even if it does work well. It’s not the answer. It’s yet another delay tactic. Kids are not at risk of dying any more than they are from a car accident, a drug or alcohol related death, a suicide, or a heat related death. They are six times more likely to die of the flu! Enough of the fear and panic game. Use smart and common sense protocols like all other sports are, and play ball! If you want to opt out, then opt out.

We couldn’t even get a full basketball season in last year when there were no cases. No way three seasons would fly. I would support it, but need to play football in Fall.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • 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.
