California coaches were glad that football returned in time for the Class of 2021 to salvage a senior season.
It’s been just over a year since high school sports returned to California.
Twenty-six of the 36 responding coaches answered with a 5, and another five coaches answered with a 4. That’s 86.1% of coaches in total answering a 4 or a 5. “I feel like we owed it to seniors to get them some type of senior film,” Kennedy-Richmond coach Gregory Marshall, Jr. said. “College football didn’t stop just because we were shut down. By us starting so late tons of kids in California missed opportunities.”
Once teams began playing again in the spring, 55.6% of coaches said they felt COVID had a major impact on their spring season and summer workouts. Only one coach said that COVID had no impact at all. The combination of the lack of numbers and lack of workout access seemed to shift the focus on what teams wanted to accomplish in the spring.
“The players and coaches took the protocols very serious,” said Evergreen Valley coach Gabe Resendez. “We never lost a player or coach to COVID for a game.”Playing a full fall slate just a couple months after a half-season in the spring worried many coaches about the volume of games and the toll that could cause on the body.But giving the Class of 2021 something for their senior year trumped all other concerns in the moment.
