JCPS Decision on fall sports

Glad the kids in post season will be able to continue. Tough break for the other kids.

Hopefully things will turn around soon and we can get back to it.  Seems unlikely though.

Should make some interesting matchups with teams being forced to find new games.

If this is because of the rates in Jefferson County, is it safe to assume this may be the end of fall sports for JCPS?

What does not playing a game accomplish? you can still practice, you can still play this weekend, you can still play if in the playoffs. What effect will this have? It just seems political to me, that they are doing something even if it doesn't reduce the risk just to say they did something. If it is truly about the safety of the kids and because Jeff is in the 'Red" they should shutdown immediately! All other decisions are for show!

Perhaps the end of fall regular season sports if Jefferson County can't control the virus. If they are allowing postseason to continue, will that also be true for football in 3 weeks?

My complaint on this is football teams doing the right things with no virus cases are penalized by the conduct of others.

There's no way around that. Either play and ignore the virus or take it serious and don't play.

Will be weekly torture for kids as every Thursday will have hopes up to see if red county on map or not.

I hope I'm wrong, but I don't see anyway it goes back to orange any time soon.

I agree but 🤞.

I’m hoping St.X will pick up North Hardin since NH was supposed to play PRP.

 Why is there no way around that? It seems pretty simple to me. If your program doesn't have any virus cases, play on. If you were program does have virus cases, then you have to cancel your game.

You said teams with no cases are penalized because of the actions of others, so I said there's no way around that. 

Team A is scheduled to play Team B. Team A has cases, game is cancelled. Team B is "penalized." How do you get around that?

I guess this sets the precedent that Winter and/or Spring sports will not be allowed to begin either (beyond practicing) until Jefferson County is below red.  There is always hope for a vaccine, but that seems to be murky waters as well.
