“That’s a good question,” running back David Montgomery said after Sunday’s loss. “Throughout the entirety of my life, I’ve dreamed of getting to this level. Playing football, I’ve dreamed of getting to a level where I can say I’m a professional athlete in the NFL. And I’m here. As you learn when you get to the NFL, it’s all predicated off wins and losses. But in the midst of it, during the journey, you tend to forget why you do what you do. You forget who you do it for.

In a statement sent to parents Sunday evening, Superintendent Greg Johnson said that the final decision on reinstating school programs hinged on how well students responded to new stepped-up rules aimed at preventing transmission of the virus. Everyone inside the school building is required to wear a high-quality mask, saliva testing will be increased, and there will be greater spacing for students during lunch periods.

Johnson said in the statement that administrators need greater participation in the mitigation strategies in order to bring back winter activities, hopefully as early as next week. Every person inside the high school must wear an N95 mask, which provides a higher level of protection than a cloth mask and will be available at school entrances, and students should participate in the voluntary saliva testing program.
