Based on what I have seen, heard, and unfortunately experienced with my son’s team thus far, I think it would be completely appropriate for the white hat to ask each coach pre-game, ‘Do any of your players currently have pending COVID tests?’ They ask about proper equipment, casts, wraps, braces, etc.
If a player wakes up Saturday morning with fever, chills, etc., that is one thing. But given that Indiana is only testing symptomatic people and their close contacts, there is no sense tempting fate.
If a player has taken a test and has not received a negative result, he should not play Friday night. It seems like common sense, but that seems to be in short supply.
I’m fairly certain some teams have had players show up to practices only to find later they had been tested and it turned out positive. Why take the risk of dealing with that aftermath, when it seems a short question could prevent it?

Am I way off base on this?
