WCHS PRESS RELEASE
Warrior Fans,
White County High School will follow the guidelines concerning indoor athletic events provided in Governor Bill Lee’s Executive Order. I understand that this is very difficult for our wonderful fanbase. We are working to provide coverage via social media to as many events as possible. Our goal is to provide updates to our fanbase to let you know where the game will be carried. Our Warrior Media staff will continue to do the awesome job they do for our community. We are also working with other media outlets to gather information on other games carried by their organizations. Please be patient, as we continue to work our way through this very unusual situation.
The Governor issued Executive Order No. 70, effective December 19, 2020 and remaining in effect through January 19, 2021. Because of the significant increase in the incidence of COVID-19 infections in Tennessee, additional restrictions on who may attend interscholastic athletic practices and contests will be in place.
Unfortunately, large scale attendance by spectators and students must be curtailed. Doing so means that bands, pep bands, cheerleaders, and dance teams may not attend athletic contests while these restrictions remain in place. In accordance with the new Executive Order, the only attendees permitted at practices or games, in addition to the student-athletes on the team, are:
1. Players’ parents or guardians and immediate household members; (. Individuals must be on the approved list provided by administration to gate workers)
2. First Responders;
3. Coaching and team personnel;
4. School, game, and facility administrators;
5. Athletics officials; and
6. Pre-approved Media and athletic scouting personnel attending the event
in their professional capacity (These individuals must be pre approved by administration and be confirmed employees of the media organization).
We appreciate your understanding and we will provide updates as they are given to us from the TSSAA and Governor Bill Lee’s office.
Happy New Year,
