Several schools around Los Angeles have taken precautions against the coronavirus, but only Cathedral has gone as far as requiring tests to play sports.
Quartz Hill High in the Antelope Valley has dropped “Rebels” as its mascot. A new mascot has not been selected.
Montgomery knows one-time testing won’t stop a potential outbreak. But he hopes it sends a message to his athletes and others in the area, potentially promoting the type of health-conscious behavior that could curb the spread of the disease. The coronavirus crisis has left the region’s prep sports in a state of uncertainty. Many teams are allowed to begin offseason training, but the California Interscholastic Federation won’t decide until July 20 whether fall sports, including football, will go off as scheduled.“If we’re seeing that [returning to practice] is able to be done and we’re not seeing student-athletes are at risk or there’s problems with getting back together, that would be encouraging,” he said.
“I’m willing to take a step back. Maybe we might be a little bit slow out of the gate the first couple games, just as long as everybody’s healthy.”“My whole goal is once we start with [all negative] tests, I want to keep that going,” Jefferson said. “That way, we can keep going, keep getting better.”Montgomery said he hasn’t received any pushback from parents or coaches regarding the testing requirement, but he knows not everyone will agree.
