Clinton shuts football down over COVID-19, cancels games against Meigs County, Powell

This whole virus situation has got to have coaches on pins and needles. What happens if your big three (Powell, West, Oak Ridge) or Central, SD, or others get down to the last 2-3 weeks and an outbreak closes them down for two weeks? Every region game counts right now. And I have a question someone can answer (and I may have missed this somewhere) if a team has a game dropped because of the virus but picks up a game with someone else., there's no forfeit, right? If Powell can pick up a replacement for Clinton, is there no forfeit, meaning Powell loses a region game in the standings? Someone help me out!

That is a great question. I haven't seen the protocol for that scenario.

Powell and Clinton both have 10/16 open, the game will be played on that date. This was part of the board of control contigency plan. The other part was is if a region game was missed and the teams had a non region opponent on the same day then the non region games would be replaced with the make up region game.

Thanks for the clarification.

Really hate to see any team have to shut down. I hope Clinton can come back for the Oak Ridge game, and I hope they can play a rescheduled game with Powell since they both are open that week. 

Kids have got to understand this darn virus is highly contagious in open air, especially indoors in confined spaces and putting space between each other.  Also wearing the mask is important, that is the only weapons they have against this thing right now.  So don't scuttle your season to Covid, its winning too much already.

    • 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.
