With this as the latest guidance from OHSAA:
Football
• Official practices will begin on Saturday, Aug. 1, with the normal acclimatization period in place.
• No school vs. school scrimmages are permitted.
• School vs. school contests will follow per their normal OHSAA permissible dates and regulations with a target date of the week of Monday, Aug. 24 (Note: This date is subject to change and subject to the approval from the Governor’s Office/Ohio Department of Health and with the stipulation that COVID-19 testing will not be required).
it all seems to hinge on whether the COVID-19 testing requirement is removed. With it in place, HS football can not have a season.
So I think the question becomes whether Ohio ODH and local boards of health are OK with allowing a contact sport (no social distancing in football!) without a rigorous testing protocol.
