Thats what Im hearing. No games for the Bucs tomorrow night, and probably next week too.

I'm assuming it's the stupid, stupid contact tracing protocol? What a disastrous policy this has been, both for schools and football teams! It's the ultimate overreaction, especially when kids are not at risk from dying whatsoever and most are asymptomatic or having very mild symptoms. If you're sick and test positive, stay home and rest until you get better. Everyone else should be living life and playing ball! It's simple stuff. Our decision-makers are struggling!

From Twiiter:

 

BHS family, Out of an abundance of caution for the health and safety of our student athletes, we have suspended football activities for the next two weeks due to recent Covid19 positive test results and associated close contacts that are also team members. Homecoming will be 10/2

Beech has 90+ kids.  How many does it take to shut the whole program down?

It's been like this all over the state! A few positive tests and they shut it down. I think it's likely TSSAA protocol with this contact tracing nonsense. However, with the flu, we send the sick people home and everyone else continues life/sports...and the flu is much more crippling to kids, be it sick level and/or death. This is unbelievable overreaction! All these teams could continue playing without those that test positive in almost every situation...since it is typically only a few infections per team. Again, this may forever change the flu protocols as well. If not, this has been a complete scam!

It's definitely not TSSAA protocol but school and school board based.  Elizabethton had 3 starting OL last week that didn't play because of having close contact with someone that tested positive but didn't stop their game against Daniel Boone

Yes, heard this was a county/school board decision.

No one - literally no one - should be surprised by their team getting shut down. Would imagine their other fall sports will soon follow and perhaps even in-person school, All you had to do was look at their student section (and Hendersonville's) last Friday. Packed in like sardines and ZERO masks. What an absolute failure of administrative leadership at both schools.

 

Good to see SportsGuy22 still in his denial phase. Some people never learn.

Denial phase of what?! Kids are not at risk of dying or even getting that sick. Please. How’s the flu response going to be for the future?! It’s way worse for kids. Shutdowns? Contact tracing? Quarantines?

Hope no one gets seriously sick and I know this is not important at this point but.....  does this mean Beech loses via forfeit?
