Truth starting to rear its head!

Is there another source?

The only ones I see reporting this are Breitbart and Alex Jones. And both of those have as much credibility as a sack of dead crickets.

Good news for players and kids alike.

“It doesn’t mean that everything that is included in the previous executive order is extended to Aug. 31.”

This is great news but what does everyone think is going to happen when kids start testing positive on a football team. Are they going to quarantine the entire team for 14 days.  Kids are going to get it, coaches are going to get it, and teachers are going to get it and the whole thing could shut down before it even gets started when you have the first death. I hate to be negative Nancy here but that is the hysteria tied to this pandemic.

Would mean the same about the whole school not just football? I mean the same kid will pass by every kid in the halls and classrooms not just the kids at practice or games. School would be a non issue as Zoom would allow them to continue online classes given the need. Now do you shut down your teams football and wait 2 weeks is another story. I dont think you can have a Football season like that. We will find out soon enough as some kind of guidelines on this very subject should surface soon if it hasnt already. If I were to guess you would quarantine the infected and ramp up temp checks and make known every symptom of the virus as to self diagnose and quarantine until a test is done. If one positive test puts a team or school down initially then I'm afraid the effort of football might be in vain. Again just my opinion.

Results from a test can come back in as little as 3 days. However if one of your best players misses on a Friday it could mean the difference of making the playoffs or not this year. If we go with 32 teams you could lose a few games and have a lower seed in the playoffs if we go the 9 team and only #1 seed that could mean the end of your playoffs that year.

Tests in middle TN are taking 9-10 days to come back. You can pay extra and get it back in the 3-4 day range. The players fall into the age group that rarely have serious symptoms. 9/10 will have no idea they are positive or only have cold/ allergy symptoms. There is a long discussion on the 5A/6A forum with dueling medical studies debating whether this age group even spreads the disease. Germany has done extensive testing on school age kids and the results are positive for reopening and getting back to normal.

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
