A high school in Kentucky says it is canceling the rest of the football season for its varsity team.
On Tuesday, Bellevue High School Athletic Director Jim Hicks announced that the school made the decision because the team has a limited number of healthy players available.
Hicks said the safety of the players at Bellevue High School is their No. 1 priority.
The athletic director shared that the school looks forward to the return of varsity football in 2023.

How long ago?
Small towns used to bully students to participate.
That’s less than my high school had (1600).
I think my high school was around 1000-1100
Yes FRiend I agree. But out of the 400 or so kid’s i graduated with probably 200 or so were girls. And they had their own full athletic programs.
About 40 years ago. My senior year we got as far as the state semifinals.

When I was in high school we were a basketball school. The coach did not want his players on the football team for injury risk, so they could run cross country or play soccer in the fall but no football. Therefore the best athletes were often on the soccer team too so we were pretty good at that.
The real question is whether those willing to be sports participants are being excluded for not receiving a yet to be determinedly number of past and future mRNA shots. Is that what is being called ‘not healthy enough’?
Can the seniors be redshirted, like they do in college?
The more games they play, the more chances to get injured.
When I was in high school in IL (72 grad), we played 8 games, and there were no playoffs. That was enough to give a few kids serious injuries that would stay with them for the rest of there lives.
The IL teams both of my sons played on won state titles, and in the process played a 14 game season. They both have a minor football related ache or two, and are probably fortunate with that.
It’s really a borderline gladiator game. My dad told me that to be a good football player you had to have a grudge against your own body. That’s probably not far from the truth.
Or the lawyers are.

**... less than 250 in grades 9-12...**
That’s about the size of the hs I attended in small town IL. And my senior class had 48. (Had our 50th reuion last Aug). My wife (75 grad) went to a big school. I counted the names on her commencement program a while back: 816. There was about 2700 kids in 10th thru 12th grades (baby boomer years).
A TV series was done about 6 man football. They followed one team. It’s called Texas 6. It’s a fast paced game played on a smaller field.
Winning football games should be their number one priority.
Any other “priority” is a distraction from their incompetence.
Fewer.
I’m old enough to remember when practically EVERYONE in High School was healthy. A few were not, for various reasons (and one even died of natural causes), but at least 90% were JUST FINE, and there were more than enough people willing and able to play football if any openings became available.
But then again, that was before “safe and effective” was shoved down our throats by the Globalists (Ukraine supporters). So things were different back then.
Of course they went to the state championships. The day after the championship game I learned that my son's school's team had been totally whipped in the final game.
I asked my son how this could happen. He replied that "They had some quarterback named 'Tebow'."
Or parents just saw Tua get wrecked and said “Nope!”
Ha! 🤣🤣🤣 Too cool.
