@DBAT-DFW posted:My son graduates a week from tomorrow. It’s being held at Texas Motor Speedway. Chairs spaced 6-feet apart on the front stretch. With 700 kids graduating (had close to 80 tryout for his Freshman team - they took 20, ended up with 8 seniors of which 4 were starters - Making a Texas 6A varsity team ain’t no joke) there will be a lot of chairs. We have to watch it on the giant “Big Hoss” TV screen on the backstretch and are not allowed to leave our cars. Think of it like a drive in movie only during the day and with 1400 cars. He has to wear a mask when receiving his diploma. Summer collegiate league starts the second week of June. I hope you get some real games soon in Georgia. You guys actually started opening up before us. Good luck!
Down here north of Houston, they are going to have graduation for several of the area high schools at the big football stadium that the schools share. The bigger schools are having their class split up. They are having an 8am graduation session and 8pm session, giving them time between to come in and do some house cleaning. They are allowing 4 tickets per graduate in the ceremony and each family has to social distance from the others. The graduates chairs down on the football field will be at least 6 feet apart. It was pretty cool how this all came together very quickly.
And another note, the group in Texas trying to get high school sports to resume since youth sports can resume practicing on May 31st, is presenting their outline to the governor and the UIL with the backing from several state senators and reps. I am not sure if it will get anywhere, seems like presenting weeks ago may have been better, but there is a small outside chance they may be able to convince the governor and the UIL to put together an ending to the high school season. They have like 22,000 signatures on a petition that they are also providing with their game plan.
