Counts 156 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 Any Idea what the plan for Battle will be? When do they come out of Quartan? When Will they reasonable be able to play again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jags52 346 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 CDC says 10 days so depending when they got shut down. I would say they are going to miss next week for sure and after that they will have to get ready on a very short week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtiger 1,740 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 Well they tested positive either Friday or Saturday, so 10 days from there. Central was obviously canceled, Rv will be too. Then a short week to get ready for Union. So by the rules agreed to those are losses for both C and Rv. Unless Battle forefits those games or reschedules 1 of them, I dont see how they could possibly reschedule both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Counts 156 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 10 days could open them up to early next week (Assuming Friday or Saturday) day 1 they could play Monday or Tuesday vs Ridgeview and do it again vs Central later in the year. So is 10 days the rule? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtiger 1,740 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 Thats what I've been told. 10 days, no testing out. I doubt they would agree to play Rv on 2 days practice after not having those guys for 10 days. As far as Central a later date would work, C has the last week as their open week, Battle would just have to play 2 in a week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F@lcon 47 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 Abingdon basketball held to 14 days and were refused by administration to resume under the cdc 10 day requirement. And that’s just because of a referee testing positive. Cost the team 3 regular season games and opportunity to play in district tournament so lost 5-6 games. Same school board/administration so don’t count on any relaxed rules. They don’t care about anything except covering their @$$. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why they should get a choice schedule them as soon as they are available to play this is a screwed up year everyone needs to adapt Warriors_XO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtiger 1,740 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 Im not saying that's the right thing to do, I'm saying that's what the administrators of the region agreed to. If a game is canceled due to covid related reasons both teams get a Loss. The games don't have to be made up. The team with the quarantine can choose to reschedule or forefit but they don't have to. It's not an intelligent decision at all, but nothing about this is intelligent Warriors_XO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not an intelligent decision at all, but nothing about this is intelligent That's so ridiculous that I can't believe a group of adults would agree to this. This cannot possibly be correct, can it? It not only hurts the actual teams competing for the playoffs (for example, Central/Union regarding Battle), but it just saps the Power Points from the rest of the M7. You've artificially lowered the number of Power Points available for defeating a fellow M7 conference rival. With the SWD looking like a 3-horse race, should the 2D playoffs be just the Top 4 in Power Points (not the Top 4 from each district), this pretty much just gives 1 of the M7's playoff spots to the 3rd SWD team. Of course, who knows what the 2D's plans for the playoffs even are. I've heard diametrically opposed things from multiple people who absolutely should know this.

redtiger 1,740 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 It's gotta be top 2 from each district or things will not work out for the best. Warriors_XO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warriors_XO 214 Report Share Posted March 7, 2021 Word on the street is John Battle is not going to try to make up the two games they canceled. I hate it for the Seniors of all three teams involved. Central and Ridgeview are willing to make these games up during the week or do whatever it takes to make these up. It is being said that is Battle is totally uncooperative. I hope that's not true.

Depending on how the schedule falls, that could require a team to play up to four games in a seven day period, which is totally unreasonable. Even if it was four games over the course of fourteen days, that's far more than any team would ever be asked to do, even in college and pro leagues. Quite frankly, it would be unsafe and irresponsible. Ryan4VT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtiger 1,740 Report Share Posted March 7, 2021 If they were to space them out accordingly that would be a tough 2 weeks but Thursday, Monday, Saturday, Friday isn't too unreasonable. Idk when their bye week is but one or both could be made up there. At least forefit so you don't screw Ridgeview or Central out of a win and the power points (Battle ain't beating either of them this season, regardless of when they play). Haysi played 3 in... 9 days once, granted the competition was subpar. Warriors_XO and swva_havok_fan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody was saying it was irresponsible when teams were playing Monday and Saturday in the same week at the beginning of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
