Some teams that have had a case or two would rather make SURE they are ready for game one which is infinitely more important than a scrimmage. Agreed, all scrimmages should be cancelled. In the best of years, they just let everyone get on the field against unfamiliar faces.. This year, they could put your guys in quarantine. Quote

Its fine to play a week later against another team. But not a week earlier in a scrimmage. The incredible weakness of this country is staggering right now. 4 1 2 Quote
from_the_sidelines007 Posted August 12, 2020 Posted August 12, 2020 Just happened to see this information put out on twitter . . . LaVille Football Scrimmage at Prairie Heights Saturday, August 15, 6 p.m. Physical distancing and masks required Home team to enter one end of stadium. Visiting team to enter opposity end of stadium. Tickets given to family of players, coaches, managers, cheerleaders, etc., Patron will then submit ticket with $3 admission at the gate. Site also mentions JUST A REMINDER Lancer fans, it is extremely important to physical distance in the visitor stands and wear masks for this event. as always, the game is better from_the_sidelines007 Quote

Yes how dare they look at actual stats that show influenza is much more dangerous to kids then Covid 19.

I'm all for masks/sanitizing/distancing, and also quarantining the ill and isolating older/high risk/pre-existing conditions people. But this lock down thing has to end eventually. Besides a vaccine, which may or may not be effective across the board initially, herd immunity is mother nature's answer to this. It needs to run it's course. Either that or we keep everything locked down indefinitely and the end result of that could be worse than COVID-19 itself. Communities, parents, players need something to offset all this gloom & doom. That thing is H.S. football - IMHO. 4 Quote

We all know how quickly things change! We are not to Saturday yet. A cancellation is not out of the question. Here you have one school from one county (LaVille .- St. Joseph) and one from another county (Prairie Heights - LaGrange). Now granted, they are using two separate entrances for each of the respective fans. They are limiting the seating. And, the event is held outdoors. The event does have three things going for it. as always, the game is better from_the_sidelines007 Quote
TheStatGuy Posted August 13, 2020 Posted August 13, 2020 Do scrimmages count as practices? I can't remember.. How many practices do you have to have to scrimmage? Quote
Mod22 Posted August 13, 2020 Posted August 13, 2020 After loosing Carroll(FLora) for their scrimmage, and a couple other opportunities, West Central will scrimmage Oak Hill in Converse. This, I believe, will be West Central's 1st opportunity to play on turf. Quote

Scrimmages do not count as practices. A player must have 5 practices to play in the scrimmage. The 5 practices must be on 5 separate days. Two a day practices only count as one practice not two. IHSAA by-law 50-6. Page 108. Quote

Its not 'fine' to play a week later but that decision has been made. If we want to play on the 21st, dont risk it on the 14th. Not a big deal. Quote

TheStatGuy Posted August 14, 2020 Posted August 14, 2020 North Central farmersburg and Sullivan scrimmage is cancelled. NC's first game is too. Quote
Titan32 Posted August 14, 2020 Posted August 14, 2020 How many guys do you dress for a scrimmage? I guess that would depend on if you have a “freshman segment” or not? Curious about formats around the state and how many kids dress to accommodate said format. Quote
TheStatGuy Posted August 14, 2020 Posted August 14, 2020 Seems Renn/North White, LCC/Frankfort and Harrison/WL scrimmages cancelled. Seems Frankfort and McCutcheon will scrimmage now.. Quote
