How many playoff games will be cancelled because of Covid?

Not impossible that a team in the state championship game has to cancel.

Wrong, if they are in the state championship game--then they made it.  Now a team with potential, could miss the game because of Covid-19.  Bye Bye Whitehaven

I mean they qualified by winning semi final game and having to cancel the week of state championship

How many basketball Champions were crowned last spring?  None in the public sector.  If team does not get to the championship game, remaining teams became semi-finalist.  If there is a game for the Championship in football this fall, someone will win it.  If a team has to drop out, then the other team not effected should win state.  If there is not a game, then they are semi-finalist at best.

You said it. I think the bottom line was to get football started to get some money but since the fall break for a lot of schools this pandemic has picked up like a California forest fire. I'm prepared for the cancellation for the playoffs at any moment and we'll be arguing for the rest of our lives who was the best team in 2020. For the rest of the sports I seriously doubt they will even get a chance to play.

I don’t know a kid in West TN that has been seriously ill from Covid. Where are you getting this info?? TSSAA don’t make money unless they play playoffs. They are not stopping now.

Wouldn't it be feasible to have the championship game on 12/12 or 12/19 if there's a positive since the state championship games are the last ones anyway? Tech doesn't play until 2021.

I had hoped that they would do that before the season to build in extra weeks before the playoffs to get games played. They made their decision to keep it as is and I can’t say it surprised me. They are a very status quo organization that does not like to adjust or change much of anything. Not a lot of vision or forward thinking unfortunately.

Things are getting worse far as rise in numbers are concerned. It will be a bunch of school systems that will pull out not the TSSAA leaving them with a very hard situation to figure out week by week.
