No other information available to me at this point. Ironically, this would (likely) have been Clark’s last game ... ever, as the school is consolidating next year. Yeah you hear about there soccer team won sectional and couldnt play regional because of covid Quote

Do you want the children at Southwood and Northfield high schools to be safe and not contract covid-19? Stop talking about the safety of the kids.

Frankly this level of flip-flopping is nothing but playing with the health and well being of young lives. And it's pretty obvious that some vocal and powerful Southwood parents got involved. Quote
Coach Nowlin Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 again, the guy who champions personal freedoms and responsibility ........ Seems quite the contrary for your belief system you have consistently trumpeted around these parts. From my seat, looks like a local decision made, which is something you USED to support.. OR..... you are just taking the contrarian side for your entertainment. I will go with that one. 1 4 Quote

That doesn't mean I necessarily agree with every decision a local government school may make, does it? Quote

Woodyball7175 Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 Sectional 29 -- Update Indianapolis Manual has been forced to forfeit the game for this evening due to only having 10 players available to play.

Muda69 Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 For some teams, COVID-19 ends IHSAA playoffs before they begin: 'It's devastating.' https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/high-school/2020/10/23/covid-19-indiana-high-school-football-soccer-volleyball-teams-playoffs-cut-short/3739035001/ Quote ... As of Thursday night, four Indiana high school football teams — Bedford North Lawrence, East Chicago, Hammond Gavit and Peru — have had their state tournament runs cut short before they began. As of earlier this week, 15 volleyball teams and six soccer teams had seen their seasons end prematurely, according to the IHSAA. As cases continue to rise in the state, the number of teams abruptly sent home figures to increase. .... The positive cases in Miami County are rising. Peru football coach Romison Saint-Louis knew several students in the school had tested positive. On Wednesday, he got the phone call. “I was informed that some athletes of mine were in contact with a student that tested positive,” he said. “We were trying to figure out who we're going to replace him with. A couple hours later, we found out that the whole school was shutting down. None of our athletes tested positive, but unfortunately due to contact tracing and the increased numbers of positive cases in our school, they shut us down. The county sheriff's department made the decision to have us go to online learning at the high school.” Peru was 7-2, guaranteed its first winning season since 2016 and hoping to compete for its first sectional title since 1982. “Obviously, this is not how we wanted the season to end. But these are circumstances,” Saint-Louis said. “I know they felt hurt. As competitors, we want to go out and compete for an opportunity to win a championship. That's what the season was about. I told them it's understandable if they're frustrated, but we can't just focus and linger on the circumstances.” The team’s 10 seniors never got that opportunity. “I feel really hurt for our senior group. They've gone through a lot,” Saint-Louis said. “They have set such a good foundation that we can continue to build on for our program. It's tough that they didn't get to compete in their playoffs because they definitely have earned that.” .... A hard lesson in the realities of life. Sometimes it give you lemons.................

Gipper Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 It’s unfortunate all of this last minute closing is going on. Then again, I don’t feel the administrators arrived at their decisions on a whim. They are giving the virus the respect that is so badly needed. 2 Quote
Purdue Pete Posted October 24, 2020 Posted October 24, 2020 By my count there were over 100 Indiana Hs football games that took place last night not counting the the 4 that will occur sat night. That’s over 200 teams participating. Thousands of families in the stands. Passionate families from what I saw last night. Thousands of memories. Some good... Some tears. That’s what it’s all about. 4 1 Quote
