KHSAA practice

The practice routine will stay the same for high school fall athletes for at least another month.

The k-h-s-a-a voted to continue.... with limited practices for all fall sports... except golf...until at least august second .

That includes football, which was scheduled to start full practices on the 13th.

Commissioner julian tackett believes they'll have sports this fall.

But the k-h-s-a-a will meet at the end of the month to assess whether they will be able to move forward with full practices.

Abc 36's austin miller was at rockcastle high school and has reaction from coaches and players.

But over at rockcastle county high school..

Head coach scott parkey says it's another month to make up for all the workouts they lost in the spring.

Scott parkey trt 16 "we're excited by it, we've taken this so far as march.

Now we're going to move into april.

We're doing a lot of strength training, injury prevention training.

We're doing a lot of quickness and explosion type of stuff.

We're going to continue doing that.

We're not really worried about the ball aspect of things right now."

While the khsaa didn't make a ruling on the fall season..

Parkey believes that by extending the limited workout period..

The season will likely be shortened.

The reason..

Players need five to six weeks to get their bodies and minds prepared for full contact.

Scott parkey trt 13 "in order to get the kids acclimated to heat, that's number one.

Then we've got to get them out there, get them used to wearing the helmets, then to helmets and shoulder pads and follow all of those guidelines into the full contact practices."

Five to six weeks of full practices would put the start of the regular season at either september 11th or 18th.

Parkey says they'd like to be able to have a scrimmage or non-district game before heading into district.

There's also the question of whether schools will have a bye week during the season.

However that gets figured out..

The rocket seniors just want a chance to take the field one more time in their high school careers.

Riley deleon trt 10 "i'm just grateful that it's looking up right now because i know beforehand, there was some talk of no fall sports.

As a senior, that would really hurt a lot."

Noah parkey trt 11 "you've just got to take it how it is and realize that you don't know what you have left, so you might as well make the most of where you're at right now."

In rockcastle county..
