In a statement issued by Head Coach Jacob Kelly on Tuesday, prior to workouts on Wednesday, June 24, the team had two players who did not pass the required pre-screening process and they were sent home.

Coach Kelly stated that they received word that both of those players have tested positive for COVID-19. Kelly went onto say that the players’ safety is the number one priority.

The players and parents of the potentially exposed group have been notified individually.

There will be no athletic plans for the current week and the facilities will be cleaned and sanitized thoroughly during this time, with the intention to start back on Monday July 6th.
