Region Champ DeKalb Co. to miss playoffs

[District12AA]

Kreager just posted an article where it is confirmed that DeKalb Co. will miss the playoffs due to COVID.

The way the article read is that they will not be replaced in the playoffs thus the 4 seed from Region 4 will move on to play the winner of the 2/3 match up.

Pathetic

Health Department has been granted too much power folks.    Make absolutely no sense to issue a 14 day MANDATORY quarantine!   We now have Rapid testing where the results can be known in 1 hour!

Simple solution here is to mandate Every player planning to participate in a game MUST produce two negative tests over a 72 hour period.   If that happens, no reason to prevent them from playing!  

Am I the only person in this state that can use just an ounce of common sense???

No you’re not the only one. I agree with everything you said.

No,  your view is the majority opinion but too few people in school leadership positions have the courage to buck the cdc guidelines. Elected reps may have even less courage.

You’re right. The problem is that they have already set precedence by making these others quarantine and miss playoffs. They would have to reverse course on that before game one of playoffs or I don’t see how you could justify rapid testing to keep a team alive in later rounds.

Well, they've screwed up every sport on the calendar for 2020!  Might as well finish off this year on a low note and stay consistent!

Reminds me of my place of employment.   

Me:  "Why is the heck do we do something in such a stupid manner?"

Boss:  "Because that's the way we've always done it"

At some point, you have to say "Hey this is a stupid way to handle this" and make changes!

This is just awful! I’m feel for Dekalb County’s Players, Coaches, & families.

Never going to happen in this screwed up place we call America.
