How? You would think if it affected school, some of the players would have been affected. 

Due to Covid related concerns, AHS will conduct Virtual Learning for all students on: 10/28-30 & 11/2. Students will not attend on 11/3 due to professional development. All students will return on Wednesday, 11/4. - AHS Website

It could be precautionary.

Hopefully they still play this game Thursday.  Alcoa HS just got shut down for a week today, due to Covid concerns.

Hmmmm... now this begs the question, if Alcoa is forced to cancel and honestly I hope it does NOT get cancelled cause I don't want to get the dub that way, but if it does, doe this count as the 9th win therefore breaking the tiebreaker with SH and Farragut and getting top seed for Region 1-6A?

Hope so. I know some Knox County schools have been affected with contact tracing keeping players out of games.

According to 5starpreps, it does NOT affect the game and it will be played as scheduled.

I was just about to ask if y’all are safe out y’all’s way. Mnps is kinda starting to look good with the Virtual learning until Jan.

Yup, thus. The shutdown is precautionary and the F5 Tornadoes will touchdown in Kingsport Thursday Night!

But what I'm wondering is if Maryville/Oakland were hypothetically eliminated due to Covid so that DB would not have to play either one, then how does the Tribe stack up against the rest of 6A in order to get to Cookeville?

I guess if DB won the state due to COVID, they would get a COVID-19 mask asterisk by their name in the books.

I have never been one to ascribe favor to one team over another due to bad weather, but since this matchup will be a wet one.....   To those of you who think it rains on one side of the line of scrimmage but not the other, how does the rain factor into this game if at all?

Ha, I've heard fans say everything you can imagine.Fact is, if one team or the other were to have problems with turnovers and so on,it still rained on both teams.I have heard of teams turning grass fields into mud holes to slow faster teams down but that would be pretty expensive at J Fred.

I don't think anything other than covid can stop Alcoa, we will see.
