Just received word that there will only be one game tonight due to Silsbee varsity having to quarantine. Silsbee will be sending what they have (a mix of JV and 9th teams) to play the varsity game. Silsbee did not want to forfeit. They will also have to do the same next Tuesday for home game vs. Vidor.

Yep.

I never liked this districts covid protocol of making a team forfeit if they could not field a varsity team. Vidor having to forfeit their first district game this season was so bogus. Particularly since the week following was a week of non-district games and could have been made up then. Also, other districts are revamping schedules to avoid having teams forfeit. Why can't this district? UIL has allowed three games per week now just to try to help in these matters.

I can understand the time crunch when districts are in the 2nd half of play but it makes no sense to forfeit games this early in the season when you have time to make them up.

But, precedent has been made with Vidor having to forfeit a game. So teams will just have to make do when they encounter these issues.

Completely agree.  The Vidor ruling was beyond ridiculous.   But you’re right - once that set the precedent, there’s no going back.  Hard to imagine what they were thinking when so many other districts are doing makeups.
 

The silver lining, if there is one, is you draw the two weakest teams in the district for these two games.  However, when you had so many youngsters already up on varsity, it’s still a hard hill to climb.

Well there goes district 😞

How bad is Vidor? Maybe, just maybe, we can pull that one off and come away tied for first place.

 

How is potentially losing tonight's game a loss of the district title?

Silsbee can lose the game but still win district. They could lose two games and still be #1 seed.

Assuming they lose the next two games, they could still win out right if they beat Lumberton again, so I guess you're right.

Still, these boys can't get caught slipping at all against any team when they get back.
