It's nice to see the efforts of Wesco set a detailed plan in place. Will it be effective enough for WIAA to follow suit, who knows. The one thing that is overlooked in all the current and past threads about wrestling season and Covid is that regardless of the WIAA offering a season to any sport, if a respective county is not under the ratio of cases versus population then there will be no sports in that county. Despite any effort from conferences or WIAA, no school district will go against the health department or Governor's orders. This is where the word "liability" gets thrown around a lot. This is unfortunate but also a damning truth. Then we talk about the aforementioned teachers concerns and availability of a vaccine that will hopefully get the kids back in school.

IMO I truly believe that the high risk sports should have been moved to Spring a long time ago (April-June) to allow for all these factors to be more controlled and have a realistic chance of happening. I moved Gut Check to June 2021 back in September when reality hit that we have some serious formalities to deal with. I was hoping to see the same from other events instead of just cancelling them for the entire year. We all want a season of some sort but with an already shortened season (if it happens) my heart really goes out the these kids as they keep losing opportunities.

I do hope the first step is getting these kids back in school. If the vaccine is effective and the teachers feel that will get them back in the classroom then by all means there is a light at the end of the tunnel for this year! With the allotted amount of vaccines coming in this first round to WA currently and having all medical professionals, law enforcement and first responders vaccinated first, does that leave us with enough vaccines to get all teachers, admin, bus drivers and district employees a shot so they can be at school sooner than later?
