Safety precautions during high school football

Safety precautions during high school football

-- i'm dan shaffer.

And i'm najahe sherman.

Austin high school football hosted its senior night this evening.

Waay 31's max cohan joins us live to tell us about the precautions that were taken before the black bears hosted florence, max?

Guys, most of the things we saw tonight we've seen with many games across the region -- separate entrances for fans, masks to enter and distancing once inside -- but tonight an attendance limit was the most noticeable.

Decatur city schools had limited ticket sales for last weeks river city rivalry -- but a much smaller crowd was seen on friday despite the game being a sellout..befor e the game district athletic director watt parker told me they expected to have about 15-hundred people attend -- a number they felt gave families ample space to keep their distance...tonigh t some austin alums told me they felt the smaller crowd was weird.

"there doesn't really feel like there's anyone here, especially compared to some of the games that were really packed the last few years.

Yeah, i agree.

I don't mind the mask too much but the limited attendance is just a little odd here."

Even with the smaller crowd it was a big game and we'll have highlights coming up in just a few minutes...live from austin stadium, max cohan, waay
