Pioneers athletes return to fields, courts

By DALE STUBBLEFIELD / Staff Reporter for the Southern Standard

After a two week lay-off, athletes at Warren County High School are back in action.

What is known as the “Dead Period” a mandatory two-week shutdown by the TSSAA, is now over and coaches and athletes may start their conditioning programs to get ready for fall sports.

All schools must observe a two-week dead period during the week preceding the fourth of July week and the week of the fourth of July, according to the TSSAA constitution. During the dead period there can be no coaching or any contact or observation by any coach, faculty or non-faculty, with any student- athletes.

Athletes from football, soccer, golf, basketball and volleyball were given the time off for a little rest before gearing back up. The programs at WCHS may now start working hard toward making their season a successful one.
