Edgewood cancels trip to Pike Liberal after positive COVID test

After suffering its first loss of the season Friday to Macon-East, Edgewood was hoping to get back on the field as quickly as possible to get back on the winning track. However, that will not be possible for another two weeks as the Wildcats have canceled this week’s game at Pike Liberal Arts after a player tested positive for COVID-19 over the weekend.

“The (Alabama Department of Public Health) toolkit is pretty clear about this,” Edgewood head of school Jay Adams said. “ADPH calls for anyone within 6 feet of the kid for 15 minutes or more within 48 hours of the test being positive should self-quarantine to prevent that possible spread of the virus.”
