COLEMAN, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – High School football is back, and fewer COVID-19 limitations are in place this season compared to last year. Players, parents and coaches hope the season can stay that way.
If there’s one thing rivals can agree on, it’s that nothing beats crowded stands at a high school football game.
“Already you can see all the people yelling and the stands are full,” said Coleman parent Patricia Nosgovitz.
“Feels good, it feels like it’s been a long time since then,” said one Peshtigo parent.
There are no more capacity limits for fans in the stands. Last year, players’ families were limited to four tickets.
Which Nosgovitz tells FOX 11 wasn’t an easy task to pick and choose which family members get to come watch her son.
“That was hard not being able to have all the family that you wanted to come so it’s definitely nice not having a restriction on that.”
Coleman’s offensive tackle, Brody Zahn is also thankful his friends, get to come out and watch his senior season.
“It’s great a lot more of our peers can come, no ones gotta watch online.”
Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association (WIAA) leaves the decision of schools participating in athletic activates up to each district’s administrators.
Coleman football Head Coach Jeff Bronson tells FOX he hopes the season will continue the same way it’s kicking off.
“I just hope we stay health and can finish it so that’s– last year’s rule was you kind of had to learn to adapt hopefully this year we don’t have to do it again.”
WIAA is scheduled to host it’s regular state football championship at Camp Randall in November.
