Real Sasquatch 1,865 Report Share Posted November 18, 2022 King William County Schools were closed due to "lack of coverage in our buildings and classrooms" - because of the flu outbreak. The game between KW and Greensville is still on - "providing we have adult supervision" according to Superintendent David White. Flu is hitting a lot of schools hard. Hope it doesn't be the deciding factor in games the next few weeks. Gridiron60 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwvaOG 601 Report Share Posted November 18, 2022 Guaranteed that it is impacting the teams. How much? Can't say, but I'm sure the only ones that will talk about it are those that lost. Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Students and school staff are getting sick, but so far, I dont think there is an immediate threat of a shut down. Have some teams already been impacted by the flu, most likely. I think currently it's Flu A, covid, RSV, and strep that are the culprits locally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone whose entire household has had it this week, it’s no joke. 😫 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jarhead24219 440 Report Share Posted November 19, 2022 Hay now , the flu did hurt Union , the backs of Gate City flew (flu) across the goal line and their defense flew to the ball , so there it was the “flew” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueDevilVolMan 15 Report Share Posted November 19, 2022 If there was a closure half the entitled parents would throw a fit. They’d throw a fit if they didn’t close. You had parents saying they “homeschooled” their kids during COVID when they were just virtual. Parents probably didn’t provide them with one iota of instruction except for saying “Did you log in and do your work?” “Yeah I did.” “Good job.” Then when it turns out they didn’t and have an F for that reason then the parent would be raising cane with the school. Kids today have no more a problem than 50 years ago. The only reason it feels that way is because their parents won’t be their parents. They’re just their pal.

jarhead24219 440 Report Share Posted November 19, 2022 Some people stopped aging as soon as high school was over. It’s a game , nothing more, sometimes we get confused who the “We” are as wins or losses come. It’s the kids team , not us. Union lost three/ games teams, about where I thought they would, not bad at all I think . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Union lost three/ games teams, about where I thought they would, not bad at all I think . I love to see Unicoi County do well. Hated that they lost a couple of heart breakers. But I am not butthurt. I didn’t rub it in to Happy Valley fans or Cloudland. It’s just a game. I don’t live my life through their success. Even with the Vols. I’m damn happy and proud of the Vols. But if they were 1-9 instead of 9-1 I’d still be proud of em. My overall happiness does not depend on their success. If it did then I’d be a Bama fan 🤣😂. Lol but in all seriousness, it’s just a game. The point is: don’t base your happiness on K-12 sports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chest thumping just stating the facts. You can go back and find the thread and read it for yourself! I don't live my life based on a high school sports I have far too many other priorities.
