Uncertainty, frustration abounds as spring seasons halted

HAMPTON – Since the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has put everyone’s sports plans on hold, there is little that can be done.

But area coaches have placed trust in their athletes in hopes that there will be a season after the initial postponement until April 13.

“We’d be thrilled to start the season April 13 and give the kids a chance to compete,” new West Fork boys’ track coach and athletic director Alex Brayton said. “I really think we have a lot of excitement around our track program…more of our kids than to focus on self-improvement and getting better each day and getting better each day of the season.

“Right now, we have provided our kids with workouts to do alone at home and we trust that they will do their part and be accountable.”
