Tallassee football postpones return after athlete tests positive for COVID-19

After taking a week off to celebrate Independence Day, the Tallassee football team was supposed to be back on the field to continue its summer workout period this week but coach Mike Battles had to deliver the news of having to postpone the return early Monday morning. The Tigers made the decision to cancel this week of practice after learning one of their players tested positive for COVID-19..

“We were made aware that one of our players had tested positive,” Battles said. “When we became aware of that, we decided to take this week too because it would give us that time we need to make sure everyone is quarantined. No one can give you a straight answer on what to do but we are trying to do what is the safest for our athletes and safest for our individuals. It’s still a work in progress.”
