The DCHS basketball teams will meet Cannon County for the first time this season tonight (Friday) in Woodbury.
The girls game tips off at 6 p.m. followed by the boys game. WJLE will have LIVE coverage with John Pryor.
The Tigers are 3-5 (1-2) and the Lady Tigers are 3-6 (0-3). The Lions are 6-6 (1-2) and the Lionettes are 3-8 (0-3).
With only a few exceptions, no public attendance is permitted at high school athletic events until at least January 19 in accordance with Governor Bill Lee’s Executive Order #70. The only attendees permitted at high school athletic practices or games, in addition to the student-athletes on the team, are:
1.Players’ parents or guardians and immediate household members;
2.First Responders;
3.Coaching and team personnel;
4.School, game, and facility administrators;
5.Athletics officials; and
6.Media and athletic scouting personnel attending the event in their professional capacity.
Social distancing between persons from different households is required. While the Executive Order does not mandate the use of masks, the Governor has encouraged masks, and the TSSAA COVID-19 Sports Regulations provision regarding the use of masks remains.
These are minimum restrictions. Depending on particular school, facility, or community circumstances, school officials may require additional limitations on attendance.
