The First Bolded part above is false, and..........The second (last) bolded part above is Partially true.  It should read, "so vaccine or not, Some games are going to be cancelled, but Less games will be cancelled with high vax rates."
So, it does change things according to the CDC.  The CDC says that.....if you are vaccinated and you come into contact with someone who has Covid, you do Not have to quarantine.  This means....you get to play.  You only have to take a Covid test in 5 days, but don't have to quarantine.  Yes, people who are vaccinated still get Covid, but the Amount of People who are vaccinated who are getting Covid is very low.  What is shutting down football programs?  Football players who are vaccinated getting Covid, or Football Players who are Not vaccinated coming into Contact with someone with Covid?  You and I both know the answer.  It's number two.  So yes, the statement stands, get vaccinated and you play.  Lets say a team had a very high vax rate of nearly 100%, the only people that would need to set out would be those who get Covid.  The other vax'd players could play, so you don't shut the entire team down.  
By the way, the CDC say for people Not vaxd.  You get to stay inside for 10 days if you have been around ANYONE (just one student in shop, world history, or english class that doesn't even know how to keep score in football) who has a positive text for Covid.  This is what is shutting programs downs.  Kids on the team who are unvaxd come into contact with just one or two (only takes one) student who is in the school that likely doesn't even play sports, but has a positive Covid test.  IF those football players were vaxd and they came into contact, they wouldn't have to miss a beat.  They could literally practice that same day.

This has the potential to be an entertaining matchup. I've not been able to watch Marion, live nor NFHS, but I did see GC vs Radford. I think I would favor GC by 2 TDs, but that's why they play the game!

Radford seemed to be a class act.  No trash talking like some other teams I’ve seen.  It was a great game.

Heck of a game.  Credit Gate City for about winning the game.  They got the best of us up front  They did an incredible job of neutralizing our speed.  I hope our kids learn a valuable lesson that you can't just show up and win.  Gate City threw some vicious licks on us.  As for the Jenkins kid, he is all that is advertised.  Actually, that's not true.  He's far, far more than advertised.  There is no way in one can tell me and make me believe this kid can not play MAJOR, FBS level slot WR with that speed and those hands.  We have some guys on our team that have track speed.  There were a few times when we were in perfect position defensively on some of those sweeps with Jenkins and our very fast defenders had the perfect angle, and the Jenkins kid would just "outrun" the angle.  He has absolutely BLAZING speed.  If this kid isn't offered higher than William and Mary, I will be surprised   
My take away from this game is not necessarily that Radford is "not as good" as thought.  I think we actually are pretty good.  I don't think it's necessarily that Gate City is far, far better than what we thought.  My take away is.......Richlands is the real deal.  They handled Gate City up front and we didn't.  Gate City, slightly got the better of us up front.  For a team (Richlands) that we blew completely out of the stadium about 6 months ago, they in my opinion have completely turned it around and are going to cause problems, major problems up front for Graham and Union in my opinion.  I just can't see Graham or Union beating Richlands by more than 10 points.  Time will tell.  Lastly, this game speaks to the strength of Region D.  Gate City isn't likely a top 6 team, arguably the 7th best team in 2D and they nearly won the game over the team in 2C that is right there with Glenvar and Gretna as the second best team in our Region.  Region D is very, very strong and has some great football teams.  

The best have thrown it very little and they will continue to throw it very little.    But, when they have thrown it, it's been a success.   What I'm getting at is, Union is going to catch people cheating up in the box to stop their run all year long because they are so effective at it, but this year, I bet those rare throws that they make have a much higher completion percentage than years past.  Union is so solid that cheating up in the box isn't going to matter for most schools cause they can still run it, but there will be some times against teams like Graham and Abingdon and maybe Richlands, where they have a few 3rd and longs and have to make a decision to run or pass.  I think on the rare occasions they do choose pass, this year offers them a better chance at success than going back many years.  Because....the QB is actually accurate.  The WR's are not slow and take forever to run a route, they are athletic and can run by the defender.

The ball looked to be underthrown.  The Jenkins kid is the fastest kid I've seen on the field in High School since Cole Beck from Blacksburg.  Not saying Jenkins is the quickest or best player or anything like that since Cole Beck, but regarding straight line speed, the kid is alarmingly fast and the fastest I have seen since Beck.  They clocked his 40 at William and Mary using the laser at a 4.38.  A true 4.38 is blazing fast.  The real kicker for me was how he ran down the kid from Virginia High on a kickoff and the kid he ran down (VHigh's running back is very fast.)

Both teams are solid in my opinion.
