That announcement was made at approximately noon on Monday.
Yet Monday night, the Williamsburg Lady Jackets suited up against Whitley County for a basketball game at Williamsburg.
The Williamsburg boys didn’t play against Red Bird on Saturday, or at Whitley County on Tuesday. The boys’ upcoming games against Somerset Christian, Jackson County, Middlesboro and Barbourville have also been canceled.
Even before COVID–19, there have been instances where a school canceled classes because of weather or illness and then the sports team suited up and played a scheduled game.
To paraphrase what my mom used to tell me, if you can’t go to school, how can you go out and play?
