The Fishers High School football team has ended practice for this week after a report Wednesday that a member of the team tested positive for COVID-19.  “To further protect everyone, summer practices have been cancelled for the remainder of the week,” said HSE Spokesperson Emily Abbotts, in an e-mail response to LarryInFishers when asked about reports of a player testing positive.

The Tigers had been following IHSAA guidelines, practicing in small groups.  The players who worked out in a shared training group with the infected individual will be receiving more guidance from the athletic department in conjunction with the Fishers Health Department on next steps.

“Again, more steps may be taken to further protect/test the rest of the team members,” Abbotts said. “The Fishers Health Department will be advising us and our coaches.”

The Tigers are scheduled to open the regular season with a home game August 23rd against North Central.
