The Marion County Public health order for high school football: Social Distancing of 6 feet at all times on sidelines No handshakes at coin toss Masks on sidelines Follow IHSAA Rules OH, BY THE WAY, THEY ARE GOING TO BE BLOCKING, TACKLING FOR THE ENTIRE GAME!!!

I would feel better if the guidelines were followed better by all. Wish the state would mandate temp taking daily which is not that hard not costly. But we have o control of one's personal behavior

The death rate is low because the older people are following guidelines. Close to 40% of the cases are in people 29 and under.

Just voted to cancel the season - breaking news here

thank you I heard it on the news the other night if your school even allows fans

Through August is it not max of 250?

If I had school age children I probably would to send them to school currently. I am not sure the schools can provide the guidelines and keeps kids acting and doing like they should act at this time. A teacher may spend 2/3 of the day making sure masks are in place.

I would have thought temps should be taken as you enter. I go through that every day. Not fool proof but how many kids may not realize they are running a fever or won't report it. For safety sake there needs to be more then just parents

With the media's help the virus, school's plans, sports season has become an absolute circus. This is an ever changing, fluid situation. What may be sounds/look good today may not be that way later in the day or tomorrow. Look at how many school corporations have had to back track or adjust? My hunch is sports is going to be the same way. Kickoff is supposedly in 2 weeks. Thinks about how many changes will happen in the mean time. Let's just hope people for he suggested guidelines and make it work so we can have football in a couple weeks. We cannot put high schools in a bubble that is for sure.

Saw this in the Muncie Paper https://www.thestarpress.com/story/sports/high-school/2020/08/06/coronavirus-indiana-ihsaa-offers-guidance-spectators/3308574001/

The virus is real whether you believe or not accept it or not. End of that topic The concept of the masks is to prevent transmission - NOT STOP IT It is in particles that come out of your mouth - and right now in Indiana over 40% of the cases are in people 29 and under So it shows it is there You want football like I do - god for sake take the politics out of the discussion and follow the suggestions - It is not fail safe but remember neither is the flu shot since it is based on the previous year's strain. But if the season gets interrupted or stopped and if you have not done your part - do not blame anyone but look at yourself It spikes after July 4 and Labor Day - the final weekend of summer is coming

Very interesting to see the state get involved I saw him on TV this morning and thought the name sounded familiar in town

So, I see SB has new corp AD. I thought that position was eliminated to help save money? I checked out Clay's workout last night a little after 6 p.m. Total there could not have been more that 24 total people out on the field.

Are your athletes having temperatures taken every time they arrive for practice? Or is your school relying on information from the student/questionnaire?

Every kid should have been tested before entering the building

Not surprised by those records

A big debate The Indy 500 just announced no fans in the stands If many arenas are not having fans can we expect the same for h.s. football? None at NHL, NBA, MBL prob NFL, who knows about colleges?

NO comment on Clay? Enough said. Weird not seeing Mishawaka

right now South Bend NO FANS

Until Aug 27 does not the state mandate no crowd bigger than 250

Another school putting football on hold. It was reported on the news this morning with no date announced when they can resume

Please stop comparing the virus to the flu because it is not a valid comparison This stuff can be spread very quickly and people are not following the guidelines If the season does not happen or if no fans are allowed each person can look at themself and ask if I did my part to stop the spread.

BREAKING: Rochester schools will begin the year with virtual classes, and all athletic practices and games will be suspended until at least August 24, due to “the recent activities of students attending end-of-summer celebrations, and a number of exposures to persons testing positive for COVID 19 there and during travels.” Rochester schools will begin the year with virtual classes, and all athletic practices and games will be suspended until at least August 24. This could be only the beginning - everyone needs to take the guidelines seriously or there will be no sports this fall

With the issues Andrean has faced over the past several years, an older building, and declining enrollment they need to revive themselves. A new school near the Franciscans would be just what they need. And do not be surprised if they do not bring a sister or to into the building when done.
