Bummer of a season ending.

[GBFBUmp]

Our crew's season ended on a bummer of a note. One of the schools that were to compete was closed due to the great number of students absent with flu like symptoms. WIAA rules require that any competitions scheduled for a day that school is cancelled, will be cancelled as well, with regular season games allowed to be rescheduled. It is doubtful that the game will be rescheduled, as neither team was in contention for playoffs, which start Tuesday.

This particular school had classes cancelled for Thurs. and Friday of this week.

Thankfully we have Level 2 and Level 4 tournament games remaining.

My best to the school, and prayers for a speedy recovery.

First time a game has been cancelled for me, due to illnesses. ANyone else seeing this?

A school nearby here in MN forfeited a game last week. The school was closed because of the flu. No activities may take place on days that the school is closed.

I was supposed to work a 7th grade game that was postponed due to the flu... apparently they had 19 kids on the team, and 13 of them were out sick that day.

I'm told they rescheduled, but it was on a day where I was already scheduled for a different game.

I'm sure it'll get worse for the winter sports.

We haven't had that illness bug around here but one school did have to forfeit one game this season due to lack of players. 15 of the 16 players were suspended for violating team rules. Yes, they play 8-man.
