So obviously they didn't have the verification that contact tracing was done, or done properly. The TSSAA ask McMinn Co. High School to get that information from the McMinn Co. health dept. So they put the burden on McMinn Co. High School. I would still like to know who screwed up. The high school or the health dept. 

My thoughts exactly, because chances are this will happen again before Cookeville...

I wonder what position the player played, not that it makes any difference.  A sad ruling but the parents must have known this could happen, unless they have transported their son to every away game throughout the year.

Probably a bunch of finger pointing going on in Athens and he said, they said.  Fault looks like it falls on both.  JMHO

It seemed unlikely from the get go that they had done proper contact tracing on the kid who tested positive, or there would have been some other players in quarantine.  They didn't have the proof because it wasn't done IMO.  Not the kids' fault though and still a crappy way to end their season.

Another trash call by the TSSAA

A kid with covid came in and Mcminn knew about it lol. What do u expect??

Have no dog in the hunt  it been following this thread since Friday. Good explanation from Tssaa they were willing to play game can’t blame them this time. Sounds like coaches and administration at McMinn may have overlooked some minor details on COVID protocol. Just an opionion.

This is sad for players, coaches, families, and fans. It just seems like it was handled all wrong. TSSAA will never take responsibility to correct a wrong...just pass the buck and send the letter at closing time!

Only winner here is covid. I hate it for all involved.

That letter is confusing. It indicates the first test was on Thursday which would take the contact tracing back to Tuesday and the player was sent home, yet the ask was for contact tracing based on the 10th.  Sounds like the TSSAA inferred that the player was positive on Tuesday which they would only know if the test was completed on Tuesday.

The last test was negative.  I don't think that was the question.  The question was who was considered a close contact when he was ill on Tuesday.

You're making my head hurt.

Sorry - I read the letter and the contact tracing timeline request seemed odd to me.  Maybe I read it wrong
