All practices have been cancelled and the entire team has to quarantine for 14 days because they came in "direct physical contact." Since their Week 1 game is in that period, that game has been cancelled. So what happens if a player tests positive after a game? Do both teams then have to sit out 2 weeks? Are those games forfeits? What happens in the playoffs?
If the precedent set here is what is going to be used statewide, this season is going to be a trainwreck.

Was he that sick to go get tested?
 
Does this also mean the 14 day quarantine has no practices, contact practices etc. this teams comes back to practice in two weeks (Monday) and is expected to be conditioned, hit in practice and get better. Three practices and a walk thru and send them into a live game on Friday night. This doesn’t sound like a good scenario. But I’m not sure what quarantining an entire football team entails.

Good point about the next game. According to the article, they can't start practicing again until September 1st, which is Tuesday. So what, 2 practices, a walk-thru and then the Game on Friday? Yeah right... Gotta think that game is cancelled too...

Did he go to practice not feeling well?

It wouldn't even be clear that he brought it to the team. He could have picked it up (or not) from a teammate that is even still asymptomatic. Hence everyone q'd.

At this point we just wish all the kids good health. It will be the longer term study of these type situations that will be the breaking straw one way or the other. If it all just becomes a few days of headaches and slight fevers, we maybe can get closer to normal.

Imagine the prededent if the fever and headaches has begun AFTER the game. Then you have two teams down.

What happens if they just have a headache? Do they get a concussion test or a coronavirus test, or both?

Will any team play 6 games this season?

Honestly, if the Ohio Department of Health is going to quarantine entire teams if one player test positive, then this is going to snowball VERY quickly once the season starts and teams start playing each other. Seems like Dewine and OHSAA had to know this would happen but didn't want to look bad by cancelling the season so they are shifting the burden to AD's and school districts whose hands are in turn tied by the health department... Everyone is afraid of getting sued. What a joke.

what did you all think was going to happen when a positive test came back? Ignore it? This is exactly why more consideration should have been given to the spring.

This hole thing is a joke really think about it a test with no symptoms we all run for the hills , look what we have all turned into

Maybe....but logical people would infer that it has less to do with symptoms And more about spreading a virus to team mates that could kill their family members. Just maybe.

Would you be happier if DeWine and the Health Department had shut down football totally for the fall? I don't think so.

Maybe that's why it was such a difficult decision to make.

What'd I would like to see is a normal season, where players have the choice to opt out or sign a waiver stating no one other than themselves is liable if they get coronavirus.

Ding, ding, ding. I think you’re beginning to understand the absurdity of moving forward with the season now.

The absurdity really lies in the idea it will be played to completion. Highly contagious virus that spreads asymptomatically, where the control of the spread within the US is insufficient on a national level with further issues bracketed by indignant attitudes at the local and regional levels.
