Many local/regional/national jurisdictions and all of VA have put kids first and postponed fall/winter sports with options to play in the spring. It's not as easy as simply canceling, but it's the right thing to do. Hoping that MCPS and MPSSAA step up and make the right decision!
Thank you, Coach Wallich! I was telling my wife last night how much of a mentor you were to me back in '07. Beyond excited to continue building upon the great tradition of Damascus Football that you and the great coaches before you established.

on the new gig. I knew you were a great coach when we coached together at QO in 2007 and I know you will do a great job at DHS. I wish you all the best.
Bottom-line is it's time adults put kids first. Not politics. Not outdated guidance. Not $$. Kids. Prioritize them, their mental health, their physical health, and their futures. Time to walk the talk of
