High schools are facing the same tough choices colleges are about football season.

Still, Porter wonders if it will be enough to stave off an outbreak and whether his farming community 40 miles outside Austin will see football on Friday nights.Just like big-time college football, American high school sports is starkly divided on whether to play this fall. Many teams are already practicing. Utah played its first games this week; at one of them, Davis High coach Mitch Arquette told his players to seize the moment before a 24-20 win over Herriman.
Texas, which has by far the most high school football players in the nation with about 170,000, will play despite a COVID-19 death toll approaching 10,000 and health experts predicting a rise in new cases as schools open their classroms. The Lone Star State will stagger its season with small schools kicking off in late August and the big schools in late September.
“We certainly know the majority of kids don't develop any severe symptoms from COVID, but they absolutely can. They're susceptible to a more significant disease course, but at this juncture it's less often than the older population,” said Briskin, who also serves on the American Academy of Pediatrics Council on Sports Medicine and Fitness.
Briskin doesn't see any high schools likely to match that sort of concentrated testing and medical care. High school officials across the country have generally not required testing because of cost and availability, and timely access to a cardiologist can be a problem in both rural and urban areas.
