NFHS Network for Streamed Games

[Proseteye]

NFHS is a site where you pay about $11 per game. For those that have used it how is the quality? Is it professional or like a fan using his cell phone? Looks as though this is the only way that most of us are going to be able to watch the games this season. Have no idea how limiting the crowd to family members and a few others only does anything to mitigate this virus.

Winter Park HS plays in Showalter Field, a stadium that can easily allow for several thousand fans at a football game. Orange County (Orlando) is limiting attendance to only 2 persons per player; there are no cheerleaders or band members allowed. That means there will be about 200 fans at each game. The latest move by the Orange County School Board is to require every player to be tested for the virus before they can play in a game each week. If a player refuses the test, he cannot play. If a player tests positive, and everyone knows there have been problems with false positives, he cannot re-test at his parents' expense; he has to quarantine for two weeks. The head of the OCSB admitted she didn't want football played this Fall; this has become a political football with Orange County politicians, the OCSB, and the teachers union playing politics with high school football teams as the pawns.

The possibility of a false-positive test result, and the inability to do anything about it, is a problem.  

That said, I'm going to cut all school administrators and school districts a little slack when it comes to restricting who can and who cannot attend a game this season.

Just heard that both my grandsons tested negative and are eligible to play tomorrow; good news, that and Winter Park is a 44 point favorite according to Pinkos.
