Students and faculty share their opinions on the MPA allowing fall sports
August 26, 2020
“I think we should have fall sports, but I think it should be an individual choice, like if you don’t feel comfortable or safe doing your sport then you have the choice to not do it. I think that if soccer is at a higher risk, then they should do what they’re able to do, so maybe they can’t have games, but cross country can have their meets and golf can play, too.” – Anna Jandreau ‘23
“If we’re in school, then why wouldn’t we be doing sports? I think if we have one sport, then we should have all of them.” – Hunter Stubbs ‘21
“We should have fall sports. I think we should have some fall sports. Heavy contact sports like soccer, we should not be playing.” – Morgan House ‘24
“Yeah, I think we should play, because while, I mean, I can be in contact with people, it’s not a contact sport. You’re six feet away anyways, other than on the tee box. But you can still be six feet apart.” – Grant Stubbs ‘24
“Teams have been doing stuff all summer long, and nothing has really come of that yet, so as long as protocols are in place they should be allowed to happen. Obviously the non-contact sports are probably deemed safer, because of this, social distancing concept. An all or nothing type of thing would probably be the best.” – Mr. Kirby
“With conditions, I think we should because we are feeling so fractured. Right now, we’re feeling apart from each other and it’s such a big part of high school life. You look forward to it your entire elementary and middle school careers. And the community loves it. So, if you can stay away from each other, and I know that’s hard to do.”– Mrs. Ruscetta
