[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 731971, member: 2426"] It isn't certain that high schools will be playing football. Some states have moved football to the spring, like Virginia. Some states have split schedules, like California Northern school planning to play in fall and Southern schools planning to play in later. Some states, like Georgia, have delayed the start of the schedule. High schools have no chance of a workable testing program. If the NCAA cancels football, then high school associations are likely to also. If there is a breakout at a high school somewhere and coaches and players parents get sick and some of them die, then high school associations are likely to halt play. I am not advocating for high school associations to cancel the season. However they have the resources that college programs do for testing and isolation. College programs don't have resources for testing and isolation like professional teams do. There are legitimate concerns about the possibility of professional and college football. I think high school is on shakier ground. The high school associations might decide not to play for several reasons, some of which I mentioned. School systems and schools might decide not to allow sports for health and/or liability reasons. I would say that the announcements and plans that high school associations are announcing should be taken with a grain of salt until games actually start. [/QUOTE]
