The game has been cancelled due to Washington County's COVID policy. Washington County is not allowed to play another team if that team's county is "red" 7 days before the game. Fayette County turned red, again, yesterday. LCA and Washington County were suppose to have a JV game Monday and the varsity game Friday. I hear LCA is looking to fill the game on 10/9 and there may be a great game in the works. Hopefully more on this Monday. 

How is this going to impact the playoffs if Fayette is still in the red and teams refuse to play schools like LCA?

Don't have a clue. Most counties will at least let the red county team come to them and play. They just won't travel into the red county. Washington County has a very strict policy. I heard LCA offered to play there. Also going to be an issue with the State Championship game at Kroger Field. 

Fayette is only "Red" using this grossly mathematically flawed measurement due to UK numbers. 

Terrible that these kids are jerked around week to week.

Exactly. To be red you have to have 25 new cases per 100,000 people. They use last years population which was 320,000 for Lexington. So with this math it take 80 new cases to make Lexington red. 80 out of 320,000. UK students were never counted as the census population but are included in the number of new cases for Fayette County. A really flawed system.

Of the three UK students I know that have tested positive (assuming that Ct < 35) - all three retested as non-positive (multiple follow-ups) and in one case the follow-up was with the UK recommended testing agency.  But UK would not remove the initial positive because the paperwork from their selected provider was missing one of three required "identifiers". 

And the contact tracing subcontractor - what a mess that is.  Calls from personal cell phones, no voicemail, then a threat as a voicemail.  They reach out two weeks after the finding - to a spouse.  It would be comical if it were not impacting very important parts of peoples lives at this critical stage of life.
