But just because someone doesn't like baseball or the fact there is travel baseball doesn't mean baseball shouldn't happen.

It’s easy to say play both in the spring, but for most 1A and 2A programs that would be devastating. It doesn’t happen as much with 3A/4A but lots of the best athletes in 1A/2A play multiple sports that would be impacted. It isn’t fair to ask kids to choose between the two and, realistically, it will weaken all programs at most 1A/2A schools if this happened. Another issue you probably aren’t thinking about - field availability. Imagine having to schedule a spring sports season with varsity football, men’s soccer, women’s soccer, JV football and track all using the same facility. Not sure how the fields will hold up, much less what happens when you get multiple rainouts. Another issue - officials. Lots of football officials also umpire/referee other sports in the spring. If you play fall and spring sports all in the spring, you will have official shortages in multiple sports. Non-football sports may not matter to you, but they do matter to many folks around the state just like football matters. You’re not going to make everyone happy, but having ALL sports in the spring 2021 season is a horrible option.Then have baseball and football at the same time and have the kids pick which one they want to play...I guarantee u more fans will be at football games. There is no travel or Aau football teams so if school football is cancelled football is cancelled period....If school baseball is cancelled kids can still play the sport through other ways. I think no highschool sports should be played this fall....give a vaccine or antibody medicine option more time to develop then play. Don't get me wrong...I hope nothing is cancelled at all...and I will go watch every game wearing a mask and stand or sit six feet apart from whomever. But it's easy for me not to worry because I don't have a child playing any sport. And I'm not worried about picking up a virus as a fan that I could pick up at a gas station or grocery store.
There has been AAU travel football in the Piedmont Triad for several years.[/QUOTe
My bad, I didn't think there was any Aau travel football teams.
BK, serious question, can a small 1A school have enough players to play both sports at the same time?If played in spring I'd like to see baseball and football played at the same time and wrestling and bball before that.

Someone on the 2A boards mentioned that Virginia is looking at starting basketball in December, Football in February, and baseball in May. That could work in NC too - shortened season for each sport. Basketball with 14-15 regular season games + playoffs, Football with 6-7 games + playoffs, baseball with 14-15 games + playoffs. Wait and put both mens/women’s soccer with spring sports after football is over (keeps the fields from being overused). Wrestling stays same time as basketball, volleyball would be during the same shortened season as football.What do u suggest there NWWatchdog...right now playing any sport besides like golf and track where u have no real risk of anything happening is foolish in my opinion....so u don't just cut football which is the money maker for most schools...u move football to spring and then all the non money making sports get cancelled or whatever. People will get over it. Right now if they played football there would be so many teams cancelling games quarantining for 14 days...I mean some 1a schools have like 18 players dressed...u get a few kids that get the virus u got to fold up shop. I just don't see it happening right now. Even cancelling nonconference games that get huge gates and starting the season later could be devastating to a highschool athletics...the amount of people that come to watch football games is way more than other sports. So if football is cancelled whats gonna pay for the spring sports...it sure ain't gonna be the sports that average 25 fans(parents) in attendance and the concessions that average selling 2 slices of pizza a 3 cokes 2 bottles of water and a pack of skittles on game nights.
In that case, I guess I should get tested. I have had the same symptoms since sometime in January. temperature running from 97.4 to 99.9. Low energy, not feeling like doing anything. A lady on the news the other said she has had it and problems keep coming and going for 3 months. My sore throat want go away but temperature keeps changing. I work 4-4 hour days and if not working a am sleeping.Two friends have the coronavirus right now. Their systems “other than a low grade fever it’s no worse than allergies”. Both are in their mid fifties
After the Governor’s press conference tomorrow I bet the NCHSAA does the same with fall sports. No way they will start on time if students aren’t in the building (options B and C).TN has delayed the start of their high school football season.

Murphy would lose a few to baseball guaranteed. We are talking important players too, not bodies.But almost all SMC kids that play football and baseball both would skip baseball.
As I have said, there is no way for sports to happen until every single kid is in the building.
Why not?
I’m hearing from some folks in Raleigh that there will be a press conference today, but no definitive announcement about schools. No announcement is better than the wrong decision that has to be changed later.
why not push everything back to September 15th. This virus is serious but I feel 1st we need to take steps in assuring our students and teachers are safe before we focus on football or any sport. Kids 14-18 are dying from this virus as well. Time to go to serious lockdown mode for at least the month of July
You will not hear little about this virus After November and magically a vaccine will appear. While all this is going on they’ve ceased to print coins. Pretty soon they’ll have all our information on a chip and a one world currency.
Not fair to either team to do that. You want only 2 days to game plan for FB? You want to go from Thursday to Monday with no baseball practice and role straight into a game on Monday? What FB coach wants his QB pitching on Wednesday, then coming in with a tired arm for Thur-Sat? What happens when baseball is rained out Wednesday and they have to move the game to Thursday or Friday? I love that you’re open minded to letting kids play both at the same time, but I just don’t think it’s safe or feasible for the kids to do so.Perhaps if they did football and baseball at the same time, kids could do both. Football would just have to get over it. Play baseball games on Monday and Wednesday. Baseball practice Tueaday. Football practice Thursday Friday. Play on Saturday. Kids that want to play baseball only can practice on Thursday too.

Stop, just stop. That is disrespectful to anyone that has died of this virus and anyone that is fighting it right now. I am watching a good friend battle this virus currently and I am not here to hear your lies about it.
How is that? Tell me?prayers for your friend. What I mean is this virus has become propagandized for political games. Should never be this. The government is using it as an excuse to gain more control over us.
