TODAY PHOTO/TOMMY WELLS The Cisco Loboes work their way through blocking drills last week during preseason practices. The Loboes will scrimmage Tolar this evening, kicking off a weekend in which all seven area squads will make their final tune-ups for the start of the 2020 high school football season.
Much like the rest of 2020, the high school athletic season has seen its world turned upside down because if the COVID-19 pandemic. No where is that more evident that the extra short preseason the area’s football teams are working their way through. Instead of the traditional two-week scrimmage, much of the state has trimmed its preseason schedule to just one scrimmage in an effort to prevent the spread of the highly-contagious, flu-like virus.
Here we go. After months of uncertainty and questions, a bit of normalcy is returning to the landscape. Sure, high school athletics are a small piece of normalcy in the COVID-19 pandemic, but any bright spot is worth indulging at a point when social distancing is the norm.
