ROANOKE, Va. โ Local schools districts are responding to the latest restrictions from the VHSL on high school sports.
The VHSL said that athletes should wear masks while playing, and if they canโt, they shouldnโt play.
William Byrd High School Athletic Director Jason Taylor said that athletes already wear masks while practicing and everyone will do what it takes, but heโd like more guidance about what kind of masks the students need to wear.
โWhatever VHSL puts together, whatever the governor puts together, our kids want to play, weโre going to abide by those rules,โ said Taylor.
Due to a new cap on spectators at 25 people, schools in Franklin County are not allowing fans to attend games.
