WINTER SPORTS UPDATE (BB & Wrestling):

As our winter sports programs continue for Carbon 2, I am thankful that our students are able to compete and hopeful that our students will be able to complete their seasons without interruptions due to COVID quarantines or sanctions.

Thank you to all parents and fans who have been supportive and cooperative of our efforts to follow the State and WHSAA guidelines and rules that make this possible. It is truly appreciated.

Just a reminder: The State and WHSAA (Wyoming High School Activities Association) have requirements which schools must follow in order for our teams to compete without penalty; some of these include spectator limits and face mask requirements. WHSAA requires face coverings (must cover nose and mouth – no face shields – only masks and gators) for all who attend school events from entrance to exit. The only exceptions are players and officials while on the court. In addition, tickets (or name on a list) will be required for entrance to comply with the spectator limits. Unfortunately, available tickets are limited to 100 (outside of school officials and teams and game officials; therefore, your acceptance of a ticket is confirmation of your acceptance to follow the WHSAA and school district requirements. If you are not willing to comply with guidelines please do not take a ticket that another fan could use!

Schools who do not follow WHSAA and State Health Orders are subject to sanctions – a situation we intend to avoid as sanctions hurt our teams and players. Therefore, I want to be very clear that anyone who places our athletes in jeopardy of sanctions will not be welcome to the games/events. If there are deliberate violations of WHSAA’s guidelines/rules, that person(s) will be asked to leave and will be barred from attending future contests/events for the school year. Please continue to follow the above guidelines as we support our teams! Our students’ are our priority!

Again - we thank you for your cooperation and for supporting our athletes!

GO MINERS, PANTHERS, AND TIGERS!

Dr. Jim D. Copeland, Supt.
