I have my son playing in the rec league here, which is directly tied with the high school (same teams, league and use the stadium too)  kind of feel like this article is misleading, almost like saying the schools don’t want to test. The thing is they can’t afford the instant test the only thing available is the 2 week test. In my area (Huntsville) I’d had to drive about 1.5 hours to get to the nearest full time instant test facility, or the few places that offer it around Huntsville usually only do 4-8 people a day on certain days. This article made it seem like the coaches/schools don’t care and i think thats absolutely wrong, it’s they’re not a corporate sports company ie the NFL and can’t afford to do it but are trying to have some normalcy as well, while implementing their own safeguards.
