It was a lot of uncertainty at first but once you go through the protocols, you look at the guidelines and as long as everyone's being safe and you're doing what you're supposed to be doing, as long as we can have our season you know we're lucky to be participate in that.

Overall i'm ok with theguideline and we're in we're feeling comfortable with it.

Masks are optional for fall sports student-athletes while playing but they must be worn on the sidelines.

Parents, like stacy butcher had her concerns early on but is happy with what she sees.

Stacy butcher: i guess when first when they were saying that they have to wear masks while they're running i was concerned how is that going to work for the boys but they've been managingt okand the them together not too many apprehensions because it was an outdoor sport.
