Does basketball get backed up?  I'm guessing it does and if things don't get better there will be no season.

So why should basketball get backed up even further?  Ohio and Indiana are playing and their numbers are higher than Kentucky.  All of this mask wearing is not doing anything to curb the numbers.  Let them play.

Their numbers will be higher than ours, larger population.  I'm guessing you feel two wrongs equal one right.

Have heard that it may be backing up to Jan 11th/18th, and adding a couple weeks on at the end, which would allow for 27 games total.  Right now it is at 24.  Hearing that the state tourney would be the first week of April.  The aggravating thing to all of us are the other states surrounding us that are playing and we are not.  Dec 14th to start back for practice is still the date everyone can continue.  I know several coaches that have said they can not play a red county, so they will not be playing anyone, and I don't know how they are going to have district games for seeding if this is true.  Season is in jeopardy the way our governor is ruling right now.  Other states are playing and moving forward and we set idle just like we do in everything. I hope we make a decision and go with it, these kids do not deserve to be brought back Dec 14th, practice for 5 weeks to be told that the season is over in January.  The damage we are doing to these kids is what worry's me.

Hey, 8th Region Warrior...."long time no see"!

We'll see come Thursday....

 

I have also heard that as well.  Practices start in January.  Season in Feb-April.  State tourney first week of May.  Thursday will be watched closely by the whole Bluegrass.

No I feel that this mask thing obviously not having any impact.  Going into hiding is not the answer.  Let them play in gym with just parents and adjust as necessary.

Indiana, Ohio and Tennessee all have positivity percentages higher than Kentucky's . . . all three states are currently playing high school basketball.

How about the damage these kids could be doing to other folks as well by playing.  If the kids can't go to school how can they be playing?

If this is the worst damage these kids run upon in their lifetime, they'll be just fine.

So, what you're saying is, monkey see, monkey do and totally disregard the medical experts?

I see lots of medical experts that say kids should be in school period.

There are a few medical experts in Indiana, Ohio, and Tennessee.  In fact, there are probably a lot more in those states than in Kentucky!

Hey, I'm upset over these decisions as much as anyone, I regularly attend around 90/100 high school game a season.  The sports that are currently being played have turned into one big mess.
