Agreed, it just plain stupid and selfish to say, "do NOT get tested, do NOT put the season in jeopardy."It is not the kid's fault, and there should be nobody that blames the parents for exercising medical safety and good health sense. It is a shame where we see so many people condemn others that are acting out of a sense of medical safety. Just because something is 99.99% okay, doesn't mean caution should be avoided. Looked at another way, that would mean that 1 out of 10,000 would have severe issues. Just thing of how how good those odds are!! If you had a 1 out of 10,000 chance to hit the lottery, many more would play it! If there's any criticism, whatever the governing body is in this situation should be adjusting their return to play criteria based upon updated data. Rapid testing is also readily available, and it could allow for healthy players to be rapid tested 2 days prior, 1 day prior, and day of game. Test would have to be administered by school nurses that sign a personal liability claim to each test result matching each athlete. Yes, this would be a little extra work, and there is a little extra expense. But it's not that much work, and I'm quite certain that parents of healthy athletes would happily bear the cost of a rapid test for 3 days (about $20 per test now), if it meant their child's playoffs could continue.

Btw.....I had to tell the story of our epic '91 contest in Canton.I'm pretty sure that every coach I spoke with regarding this situation used the same formula. If sick, stay home, don't get tested. Being a teammate used to require some self sacrifice. It appears not to everyone, LOL.
Negative ghost rider.Next it'll be, "that QB who was picked up and slammed on his head is so selfish for taking himself out after he threw up and got a headache," "he should be a team first guy.
I doubt it. Common sense is damn near extinct these days!Feel awful for these kids. Hopefully common sense will prevail and they will figure out a way to play first tourney game.

Was this a mutual agreement or a well timed rainout?The Jackson/Madison game scheduled for tonight has been rescheduled for tomorrow (Wednesday) night.
Go Bears!
It wasn't a rainout but I don't know how it got worked out.Was this a mutual agreement or a well timed rainout?
Or did the state step in?
Agree, it is good for Jackson and those Seniors.
Winners play eachother?It wasn't a rainout but I don't know how it got worked out.
I noticed the other game in this district, scheduled for last night, was also rescheduled for tonight.
No, the winners of the two rescheduled games don't play each other.Winners play eachother?
Makes complete sense that if they do that both were moved.
To get 4 schools to agree, I am presuming the OHSAA stepped in and made this happen but maybe I am wrong...it is almost half way through 2021 and I so far have been pitching a perfect game.
Dammit, I said it, now I am going to be wrong soon. IT was a good run though, but my personal record is not being wrong until November.
Maybe 2022....
