Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, most sports were forced to play games with empty stadiums to keep all players, coaches and staff safe. The atmosphere from the time we came out of the tunnel was unlike anything any of us have felt, said New England Patriots cornerback Jason McCourty. “You cant really envision what an NFL game is like without fans. This felt more like a high school scrimmage.”

Grace Baker teaches this class to students to work at their own pace to gain credits for classes that they had previously failed. This program has existed in Millard at Keith Lutz Horizon High School and in some form at MS, but it has been broadened into the rest of the high schools here in Millard,” Grace Baker said. “We decided to do this in the district in response to the remote learning that has been happening because of the pandemic.”

As the mask mandate gets lifted, some experts believe Texas’ COVID-19 cases will soar. After CDC studies on masks and indoor dining, the transmission rate could double with the removal of the restrictions in the state. They elected to go completely full 100% instead of waiting to ease restrictions slowly, and I won’t be surprised if we see the cases boost.
