“A lot of high school seniors will be missing out on scholarships.”

And that’s just one of the tragedies. Those senior athletes will miss an entire year of focused training, with their fellow teammates. Getting together at a park to play from time to time won’t cut it.

There are perhaps some really talented athletes out there who will never be able to play pro sports because of this.

One of our younger relatives is always in great due to his wrestling exercises. He has 2 friends, who are/were great high school athletes with several scholarship offers. His college sent him home during the pandemic, and he helped these 2 guys to stay in shape this spring and summer.

He returns to college next week, and there is no one to keep these 2 guys in top shape.

Also, all of their college scholarships are basically gone for now. There are no local college sport programs left in California.
