High Island has forfeited this week’s game against Deweyville due to COVID-19. Pirates awarded a 21-0 win. Deweyville (7-2, 5-0) heads to the playoffs as top seed out of 12-2A-DII. First outright district title since 1985. Cardinals season ends at (1-8, 1-4).

I know you’ve probably stated it before (or someone has), but how do they arrive at 21 points?

Ridiculous, they should play the game if they have 11. Hate it for those seniors and for the team going to the playoffs. Tough to take a week off right before the playoffs. Kills your rhythm. 

This may be one of the dumbest comments ever.  If they have 11 play the game, yeah right.  Who in their right mind would try to play a varsity football game with just 11 kids.  Plus if they cancelled an Area Round volleyball game because of covid, then it must be serious.  I know those kids in HI, would strap it up no matter what, in the face of all odds, but there are things that are beyond their control.

Not only would they play, but Matt Miracle, who I know not to be a big believer in shutting down for covid, would have them out there.

It makes you wonder if the decision not to play these games this is not coming out of the coaches' offices, but rather the administration buildings.

They would not play the Dale earlier this year. Refused. Sabine Pass played without power that week. Evadale even tried to move the game to HI, changing their homecoming, just to get the game in. But they wouldn't do it. So don't tell us "would strap it up no matter what".

This is probably what is happening.

I understand that High Island also forfeited their area round volleyball game so their forfeiture to Deweyville looks to truly have been due to an ongoing covid problem.

Perhaps the cancellations were due to actual active cases or at least a positive test.  If there happens to be siblings (sister volleyball player / brother football player) then I'm pretty certain the rules say they must quarantine being in the same household.  Or.. if a positive test in either locker room the whole team would quarantine per UIL/TEA mandate.  People's feelings on the seriousness of the virus are irrelevant.  The state hasn't lifted the regulations.. so.. Out of anyone's hands.

You'd think so, but it's my understanding that every district is doing it differently. If so, it's up HI on who is quarantined (for those kids who aren't positive).

      What a Travesty of Justice

      You have a choice between two guys in November that neither of us can change or could have changed. You can continue to whine and moan, not vote, vote for biden, I couldn't care less what you do. Those of us that choose to face reality simply deal with it. You just keep your fingers crossed hoping biden will win in November so you can get on here and be the star of the political forum (in your mind) by telling us all I told you so, even though you had as much to do with this situation as any of us. And yes, I can claim he was a good President, because he was, and I and others have made long lists of the reasons why, which you cannot refute. You have a good day wallowing in your perpetual misery.

      There is undeniable irony and hypocrisy in the fact that Trump has the unwavering support of conservative republicans across the country who've pushed legislation that makes it much more difficult to access her on pornhub.

      All sports lose money... period.. Yes football brings more revenue but still loses money with all its costs...  Football does not "fund" other sports..  It is funded by budget.. which is paid by state and local taxes.  I have seen many games this year where less than 200 parents show up to the games. Do you think these schools got rid all other sports cause their football team did not gain enough revenue at football games??... come on..  I would agree football is bigger in Texas.. no doubt... All I'm saying is other sports should not suffer cause of football Offseason... I know coaches think that 10 extra practices in April/May will determine if they are successful in November.. I just don't think its worth destroying another sport to do it.. especially with all the summer to practice...
