From the Marshall County Athletic Department:

On behalf of the Marshall County High School Athletic Department, we would like to thank the community for the tremendous support during our fall sports season. Through these challenging times, everyone has been amazing in working with us as we navigate the COVID guidelines and attempt to provide athletic opportunities for our student-athletes. Unfortunately, the remainder of the Marshall County High School football season will be cancelled due to the number of players quarantined at this time. We are very proud of our players and coaches for the diligence in adhering to all safety protocols throughout the season, and especially for their efforts on the field. We look forward with anticipation at the strides our football program will make next year.

We again thank the players, parents, and fans for being the best in Kentucky. Go Marshals! 
 

A first round showdown at Trinity probably helped that decision.

No doubt!  Along with a 7 hour round trip bus ride to never get across mid-field.  I think they needed to make this decision based on their "safety protocols" of course.

You might argue it could be physically unsafe to play that game. 

Smart choice. Can’t blame them. 

Does this mean the Rocks are off another week?

Can Trinity still play a game the first week if they can find a team to play?

Not sure but teams can play a game after they lose and I don’t see Trinity losing.

I believe the KHSAA said when they posted the brackets that if a team drops out, the brackets will not change. The other team moves on to the next round. Trinity moves on to the next round.

Was wondering if they could play a team not in the playoffs the first week as a practice type game to get the rust off?

That's what I was wondering, too.....or maybe a good intra-squad scrimmage.    But in Trinity's case I don't think they can have practice until late next week.

Zero chance I would take that risk with COVID out of control. Trinity is too good to have to worry about knocking rust off.

Who in the world would they play anyway the only teams not participating in the playoffs would get demolished and about all the states around us are already in the playoffs.
