Sammy,

Not sure if you're disgusted by the general inactivity of the board or by the nonsense that gets posted that has nothing to do with high school football. But a few comments:

• The lack of any moderator has degraded the board. It wouldn't take much to clear the garbage, e.g. the post about Boris Johnson.
• Of course the virus has changed what everyone is thinking about. The Eastern PA site has also been almost entirely inactive for over a month. Maybe it's different in NC, but I'm thinking there's a 50-50 chance at best of a season in the fall. (There's a better chance if certain people don't try to remove the restrictions prematurely.) Also, I saw yesterday that lots of colleges are skeptical about games in the fall. I know crowds at high school games are easier to spread out, but it's hard to see school districts saying to parents that 15-year olds should be playing a sport that has less social distancing than any other when colleges are saying they are not fielding teams to keep people, including players, safe.
• I've enjoyed this board but it seems boards like this are being superseded by other types of social media.
• By almost any measure there's less interest generally in HS football in PA than there was at any time in my living memory.
• Still, I'd love it if at least the guys who posted last year are back to posting about football in a few months.

I hope so too, this has been an extremely odd off season. I wonder how many players will be able to play as opposed gonna be to take on a part time job if their parent(s) have lost jobs and are facing evictions / foreclosure and even eating a decent meal! For those a bit better off, will they be able to afford their portion of the tuition if in a private school?
Trying to keep positive!
