Tired of the back and forth.

Bobbi: "parents and students tonight happy that football games like this one are still going on, but with fayette county going back and forth between the red and the orange zone, they're a little bit worried."

Football game noises "they need consistency."

Fayett county dropped to the orange zone friday...after being in the red.

Red zones are where coronavirus spread is the worst...meaning there's more than a 25-percent infection rate per 100- thousand people.

The county is teetering at that line and if it follows state recommendations in effect monday...it might pause sports.

Football game noise two frederick douglass high schoolers say sports are already underway...there's no point in going back now.

"i think that the damage is kinda already done.

Like we're already playing, honestly."

Marci mulder is a mom to three student athletes...she says she prefers them in school...but when that finally happens... marci: "i don't want to go back and forth.

Once they're in, they're in."

Butted just cuz we're in the orange today, i don't want them to go to school and then turn around in the red two days later and then not get to go to school."

A second option mulder likes...holding off altogether until there's a vaccine.

Wilma wingate is the mom of a lafayette football coach...she says the possibility of a shutdown scares him everyday.

Wilma: "he loves football, and he's the coach, and he's dedicated to the kids, so it highly affects him."

The highschoolers say if anyone is going to be on a tentative schedule...it should be the fans.

Liv, amirah: "if anything it should be no crowds.

If they're going to do something- take it away the crowds, not take it away from the players."

Bobbi: "the board of education is set to meet on monday.

In lexington,, bobbi mcswine, abc 36 news."
