Wink58 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 (edited) I just heard a news broadcast that said a school has cancelled it's football game because of the school has a covid outbreak. Is this real news??? What school?? The news show is an Indy based news channel but did not list school. Edited August 15, 2021 by Wink58 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DE Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 I am a teacher. Been on this frontline for roughly a year and a half (since 3/13/20). It had NEVER been a virus outbreak at a school up by us. It has ALWAYS been the contact tracing that knocks teams out or closes schools. 2 hours ago, Wink58 said: I just heard a news broadcast that said a school has cancelled it's football game because of the school has a covid outbreak.

Now Wabash is at Lapel 8/20, so Maconaquah must have cancelled their game at Wabash on that date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irishman Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 We went through this last season and had way too many topics locked. Keep your feelings about the virus itself, or how quarantines are handled off this page. The topic is what games have been canceled. Stick to the topic please. If you want to write about the politics of it, @Muda69 has an OOB club. Feel free to join that and have at it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobref Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 There is a report circulating that the Henry County (New Castle) Health Dept. has ordered all sporting events and practices canceled. No re-opening date set yet. New Castle is scheduled to host Franklin County Friday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzoron Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 (edited) Shenandoah is also going to e-learning. I have not seen any athletic cancellations for them yet. They are also in Henry County. Edited August 16, 2021 by gonzoron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like they have rescheduled with Wabash, who's game with Maconaquah (a conference opponent) was cancelled as due to COVID issues with Maconaquah. The Oldenburg Academy vs. Rock Creek Academy game was cancelled due to COVID issues with Rock Creek Academy. Unfortunately for the Twisters, it does not appear Oldenburg has found another opponent to play this week. Anderson Prep Academy... honestly who knows. I am doubtful they will even have a program in the near future. They have gone 3-31 over their last 4 seasons and did not play a single game last year. In 2019, they only played 4 games and got outscored 0-44, 6-54, 0-56, and 8-42. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had something like 250 kids quarantined due to contact tracing over the last week or so, according to a message by the superintendent Sunday night. That's like 20% of our total student population. Right now week 1 is not looking likely and I'm doubting we'll play week 2. The rest of the Henry County schools are business as usual. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bare23 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Maconaquah had to cancel their scrimmage and week one game due to contract tracing, along with most of the rest of their fall sports for the 2 week period. They closed the building and went to elearning this week due to a 43% student and faculty quarantine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
