Every school protocol from the state department of education and the state health department has a 10 day isolation if you are positive and contact tracing and a 14 day quarantine for everyone within 6 feet for 15 minutes in a 24 hour period who was around that person.  That's the rule that should have been followed in McMinn.  Biggest question I have was 1.  If the positive was on Tuesday why was no one informed 2.  Why was there no  quarantining from a health department or school district on Wednesday.  I've been part of this process this year and it happens really fast when schools are involved.  It just seems really bad that a school had this information and didn't act on it.  

 

How do you know they didn't? They didn't go to school Wednesday through today. Bo didn't let him practice or play. That's procedure. Right?

Only guess I have is because DB wasn’t notified.  Go back to Wednesday, call DB, say this is what happened we did the tracing xyz is good to go, game is on 100%,  now if DB doesn’t want to play it’s all on DB.  The way it looks right now is the news came out of no where.  I guess I’ve seen too many stories where either full teams were out or stories of 3-5 players being put in quarantine but the game is still on.  Still I want to read the full story, I’ve made too much guessing tonight.  You may be right and there you go, but state dept of health said no to this game so idk where it goes until Monday like the rest of us.

Test everybody Saturday and play on Sunday. That's the only way this game gets played. Monday is to late to make a call on it. Hard to believe these people are this dumb.

Except, DB didn't cancel. There was a conference call between the Sullivan County Health Department, The State Health Board and the TSSAA. After the conference call the Sullivan County Health Department canceled the game. Of course I didn't set in on the call but I would imagine all agreed to cancel the game. I don't think you penalize DB for that. But either way it's a screwed up mess. I say test everybody again tomorrow and play the game Sunday. Easy enough.

Unfortunate situation for all involved.  No way to get 200 Covid test results back in 24 hrs.  Hate it for the kids.  T$$AA has a mess on their hands.  Ole Bernie C. is gonna have to work this weekend.

I think in our situation if that kid would have stayed home this probably wouldn’t have been an issue. From what I have gathered and heard the kid in question met the team and ate pregame meal with them, and was on the field with them pregame. Ultimately exposing everyone. They were contesting the fact that he had COVID because he was asymptomatic

What a mess!  Sounds like mackmen rolled the dice. It sux for those trying to do the right thing.
I’m certain murvil will ensure a decision will be made today. We got to know who to prepare for during Sunday’s practice. BTW, we don’t want no funk brought in with 2 weeks to go! I hope we can finish.

    • It was not ACHS at all, they have zero reason to worry about Clinton.  It had to do with a kid (non football player)  that had a charge and appeared in front of the juvenile judge.  The judge saw that the kid was way behind credit wise for his grade and told him to reappear in a month with a plan to graduate.  When the kid reappeared he had more that twice the credits than one month before.  The judge called BS and contacted the school.  That is what happened.  
    • I believe the Covington Chargers travel to Trenton Peabody for a scrimmage today? Anyone going to this? Curious how the Chargers will do.
    • Good ole Bradley Zulliger. He was a really good QB @ OR. Fun to watch.  Wore #15 and was like a mini Tebow, with the exception of being right handed. He could take a pounding and keep on ticking. Played with a collapsed lung against Powell that year. Tough as nails.
    • They should be pretty good in year two for Rang.  Replacing most of the offensive production losing Dozier, Hayward and Rembert , but they're are skill kids in place ready for their shot.  I know I say this every year, but the o line should show improvement after two years in Rang and Kevin Day's weight program.  I still would favor West over Plow and OR come November.  The Rebs will have to grow up a bunch between now and then, and will probably take some lumps along the way with that schedule.  But I predict come playoff time they will be ready.   One of their coaches half joked to me that they could go 5-5 regular season and win the state championship.  Ha ha.  
    • there will be a couple of teams,that could make some noise
