Just some added information on the situation at South that was reported to the Herald-Times. In addition to removing players because of the Covid issue, South also had numerous varsity players out with injury. There's a chance this could end their season as they may not be able to play in the sectional as players will be required to make up five practice days to be eligible for the sectional per the IHSAA. There is going to be a four week window where South has not played. Here is part of the H-T's article:
Due to a contact tracing report on Friday another 12 Panthers were taken out of action and South decided the amount of varsity players left available was too limited to continue on with the contest against Bishop Chatard. The game had been moved to Edgewood and its red turf after an electrical issue with the lights and scoreboard at Huff Memorial Field.
"Because it happened the day of the game, you're talking about throwing JV guys in there, we just didn't have time to adjust," South coach Gabe Johnson told WGCL radio. "Then it became a safety issue. It's really tough, but we didn't feel like (playing) was the right thing to do."
