SCHSL: COVID-19/Coronavirus update (3-16-20)
In accordance with the Executive Order by Governor McMaster, all South Carolina public schools are closed until the end of March. This includes SCHSL member schools with private schools strongly encouraged to follow suit. Regarding middle and high school athletics, the South Carolina High School League is suspending all Spring sport activities from March 16, 2020 through April 5, 2020. This suspension includes all contests, practices, workouts (conditioning and strength training), and/or open season skill development.
The COVID-19/Coronavirus is spreading across our state and nation with social distancing being critical to stop the spread. School athletics most certainly do not supersede the safety of our student-athletes, coaches, their families or fans.
"In order to keep our student-athletes and the education community as safe as possible, stringent measures are now in place by order of the Governor’s Office. We ask that all schools follow this Executive Order until further notice. We will reconvene via teleconference on April 2, 2020, to review the Spring sports schedule," states Commissioner Jerome Singleton.
Please follow the advice of medical professionals as well as your state leaders, both educational and political. Our goal remains the same- to eradicate the COVID-19/Coronavirus and keep our citizens as healthy as possible.
We thank you for your full cooperation and patience during these unprecedented times. A return to normalcy is dependent on how we proceed with caution and calm.
Next scheduled meeting: April 2, 2020 via teleconference to review Spring sports schedule and the status of COVID-19/Coronavirus.

Hey Slick,i have a hunch there will be no Football this year.

NO FOOTBALL WILL FINISH ME OFF.

NO FOOTBALL WILL FINISH ME OFF.

Go eat some chili dogs for a year...that will get u by!!!

I cant see them jumping the shark on football at this point. If they do it will be a purely political move. Football once existed without spring practice as we have it today, and folks managed to play for years without having a 7 on 7 every day during the summer. Now if this thing doesnt settle down by August, then we have a problem. But that is four months down the road. If it gets to that, we will have a lot more issues on our hands than missing football.

Agreed Deputy dog...But as time goes by these last few weeks...i have seen more families doing what WE did Almost everyday....mowing lawns...washing cars...hanging out on front porch...i hear of people doing puzzles??? Puzzles??? Who does puzzles anymore? We did in 1975...

As horrific as this invisible monster is...it seems to be doing some good as well..businesses making sanitizer instead of beer...free delivery of food..youve seen it all on tv...I would rather not have it...but some good should and is coming because of it.

Lets all just pray the Good Lord ends this soon!

AMEN
