UPDATE FROM BUCHHOLZ FOOTBALL REGARDING COVID

Posted by Carissa Clayton on Aug 12 2021 at 01:02PM PDT in 2021 Season

Hi Parents,

As most of you are aware we had one varsity player contract the Covid -19 virus and unfortunately it was within 48 hrs of our Saturday practice. Only one player on the team is sick but quite a few players have been contact traced and will be quarantining for 7 days because they were all together practicing on Saturday. Today we were also notified we have one JV player that has also contracted the virus and 5 players were contact traced as well. So only 2 players are actually sick but many are quarantining due to contact tracing.

We had a few parents with questions regarding the vaccine. We want to be clear that Coach Whittemore, Coach Kade nor any of the assistant coaches have stated that a player MUST be vaccinated to play. This week Coach Whittemore pulled up some JV players to practice with varsity because of the loss of so many through contact tracing but only pulled up those that were fully vaccinated. He did not want to spread the virus between the teams. If your son is fully vaccinated he will not be contact traced if any player/student becomes ill.

Practice will continue for both teams. Please let us know if you have any questions.

Go Bobcats!

Carissa
