I believe no play on Sunday has been the rule in Boone County for quite a while. Boone County is one of the most conservative counties in the state. The only way a Democrat could win an election in Boone County is if it was Jesus...and I'm not sure about that one.

I'm all for no playing games on Sunday.

Agreed

Reason? Just don't get not giving kids the opportunity to play in things they are invited to play a lot of other schools in the state don't have this

Why was the game scheduled to begin with? It is not a new policy.

Why is it there to begin with the policy should be changed i will bet highlands Notre dame or new cath don't have it maybe need to just vote out the board what would happen if a game is canceled and had to be played on sun that's right let the other team have it good policy

No Play on Sunday is a rule for many schools. No Play, No Practice. Stick to your guns Conner!

Punctuation is your friend.

Most schools including all the private schools allow play on Sunday as long as it is not dueing the family church hour 11-12 AM on Sunday or a Holy Day.

No need to play on Sunday.

Private schools do have severla more options since there are Masses on Saturdays etc. We always make sure everyone agrees to it and everyone goes to church.

Sunday is a day of rest. It would be nice to give families a day where they don't have to run, rush and eat McDonalds.

No need to play on Sunday.

 

 

I have mixed feelings on this. The Middle School State Tournament in Lexington is on a weekend and the games would have to be played on Sunday if the team advances. The board rejects this tournament for Boone County teams because of this rule. This limits the tournaments the middle school teams are allowed to compete in. Do I believe a day of rest is needed absolutely and Sunday seems like the best choice but let’s loosen the rule little and give two passes to play on Sunday each season. This gives our Middle School and High School programs a chance to choose wisely which tournaments to participate in. The Boone County policy below actually allows play on Sunday but this year they have decided to really put a clamp down on approving these.

Boone Policy Below:

Travel time, or a tournament/competition or other non-athletic school sponsored event, which continues into Sunday from the previous day(s), will also be permitted with prior approval of the Principal and the Superintendent/Designee.
