FACING THE COVID-19 CRISIS

TOGETHER

Steve Savarese

A Special Message from AHSAA Executive Director Steve Savarese

Like thousands of others, I am deeply saddened and disappointed that our schools have closed, and

spring sports will not have an opportunity to finish their seasons. Even more so, I am disheartened for all student-athletes, contest officials, their coaches, families, student bodies, fans, communities, and especially our seniors. We are facing an unprecedented health crisis, but I am prayerful that the steps we are taking now within our schools and across our nation will enable all those affected to return to a sense of normalcy sooner than later. I especially want to thank State Superintendent Dr. Eric Mackey and the Alabama State Department of Edu-cation, Governor Kay Ivey and the State Department of Public Health for their leadership and guidance. As educators, we truly appreciate Dr. Mackey for his tireless work ethic and communication throughout this unparalleled health crisis.

I’m extremely grateful to all our educators who will utilize tele-communications and other ingenious meth-ods to continue to educate our students as well as keep our student-athletes conditioned.

Moreover, I’m grateful to all those within our medical communities who are serving those in need. In par-ticular, now more than ever, I am thankful for the leadership of the AHSAA medical advisory board and Central Board of Control.

Lastly, all the steps we are taking now will be for naught if we each fail to do our part, and our responsibility is to follow the recommendations of our health care professionals. My prayer is that we will all take seriously the Alabama Department of Public Health guidelines so our fami-lies can once again return to work, visit loved ones in the hospital and nursing homes, celebrate birthdays, weddings and births of children, visit and hold our grandchildren, shop, travel and just enjoy the simple things of everyday life we often take for granted. Until those guidelines are lifted, we must heed these cautions thus not allowing this health issue to affect fu-ture school years. We are learning to work every day under the state health guidelines, but please know we are here to address your questions at any time. We are here to serve you. God Bless!

Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey, in consultation with the Alabama State Depart-ment of Education (ALSDE) and the Ala-bama Department of Pub-lic Health (ADPH) an-nounced March 26 that all public K-12 schools across the State of Ala-bama are open only for alternate delivery of in-struction effective April 6 for the remainder of the 2019-20 school year. Ac-cording to the State Su-perintendent’s follow up guidance, no face-to-face, in-person instruction, field trips, convocations or gatherings, or athletics will be allowed for the remainder of the school year. As a result, all AHSAA member schools’ spring sports’ regular season and championship events are hereby canceled for the remainder of the 2020 season. We understand the hardships and disappoint-ments you are facing due to school closures, but also know, we are com-mitted to putting the health, safety, and overall well-being of our admin-istrators, coaches, and stu-

dent-athletes at the fore-front during this challeng-

ing time, and our pri-orities must focus on returning to a normal school year in 2020-21 and graduating the seniors of 2020. The AHSAA maintains its position on what can and can-not be done while schools are closed. All AHSAA member schools’ athletic events and activities including, but not lim-ited to, contests, prac-tices, weightlifting and conditioning are hereby suspended

until further notice. To better assist our principals, athletic di-rectors, coaches, stu-dent-athletes, and par-ents regarding what is allowed or not allowed during the mandated school closures, the AHSAA has provided a list of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) that apply to all AHSAA member schools that can be found online at www.ahsaa.com.

Girls’ All-Star Game Alabama 70, Mississippi 63 Alabama All-Star Sarah Ashlee Barker

scored 15 points and cleared nine re-

bounds to spark the visitors to a 70-63

win at Mississippi College’s A.E. Wood

Coliseum in the 30th Alabama-Mississippi

All-Star Classic played Friday, March 13.

Barker had a dominating performance

from start to finish to earn MVP honors

as Alabama’s squad, coached by Hoover’s

Krystle Johnson and Central-

Tuscaloosa’s Michael Rivers, improved

its edge in the series that began in 1991 to

16-14.

Alabama’s girls started slowly, fell be-

hind 6-0 and 37-35 at halftime.

Alabama outscored Mississippi 33-28 in

the second half and 54-41 in the final

three quarters. Barker’ nine rebounds led

Alabama. She had four on the offensive

boards and her team had 23 offensive

boards total. Mississippi out-rebounded

Alabama 55-51, but the dominance on the

offensive end proved to be the difference.

Barker also had four assists, two steals,

one blocked shot and sank two 3-

pointers. Niaira Jones of Charles Hen-

derson also had 14 points with 12 coming

on four 3-pointers.

McAdory’s JamyaTyus added nine

points, Destinee McGhee of Madison

Academy had eight, Samira Moore of

Charles Henderson, Farrah Pearson of

Hazel Green and Quintasia Leather-

wood had five points each.

DaKiayah Sanders of Ramsay had

three points and a game-high five steals.

Pearson had four and Cold Springs’ Eliz-

abeth Hill had three. Silentianna Col-

lins of Brookhaven was named the Mis-

sissippi MVP. She had 14 points but just

four in the second half. Melyia Grayson

of Hattiesburg and Jacorriah Bracey of

Thomas E. Edwards High School each

scored 11 points for Mississippi. Grayson

also had nine rebounds and three blocked

shots with a strong performance inside

for the hosts, coached by Vicki Rutland

of Lawrence County and Bill Smith of

Choctaw Central.

Alabama’s win was its third in a row

and the 70 points by the winning team

was the lowest since Alabama won 60-54

in 1997 in a game played at the University

of North Alabama in Florence.

Director

Boys’ All-Star Game Alabama 118, Mississippi 97 The Alabama Boys’ All-Stars’ strong

domination inside and on the perimeter

produced a 118-113 win over Mississippi

at A.E. Wood Coliseum on the Mississip-

pi College campus March 13.

Alabama’s boys improved to 16-14 in

the series, which played its first game in

1991 at the University of North Alabama

in Florence. The 118 points was a new

scoring record for Alabama, breaking the

old mark of 113 in a 118-113 loss in 2007

in a game played at Pelham Civic Center.

Alabama MVP Antwan Burnett

scored 25 points and pulled down 10 re-

bounds to pace Alabama, coached by Pin-

son Valley’s Darrell Barber and Weno-

nah’s Audwin Howard. Sidney Lanier’s

Burnett, who earned MVP honors in last

summer’s North-South All-Star Game,

was 11-of-19 from the field with two 3-

pointers versus Mississippi.

Colby Jones of Mountain Brook also

had a double-double with 12 points and

12 rebounds. Zondrick Garrett of Ox-

ford added 17 points, Kam Woods of

Pinson Valley chipped in 12 points, six

assists and three steals, and East Lime-

stone’s Austin Harrell finished with 12

points. Rongie Gordon of Jeff Davis also

had eight rebounds.

The record-setting points came on two

free throws by Fairfield center Reginald

Perry with just over a minute to play. He

finished with seven points, four rebounds

and two blocked shots.

Alabama led 54-44 at the half and out-

scored Mississippi, coached Bruce Rob-

inson of Warren Central and Marcus

Flippin of Brookhaven, and out-pointed

the hosts 64-53 in the second half.

Mississippi MVP was Alijah Martin of

North Pike High School. He had 18

points and nine rebounds and also

blocked three shots.

Alabama won the rebounding battle 58

-46 and forced 19 turnovers while making

only 11.

In Lieu of Banquet, Bryant-Jordan Award Recipients To be announced via Special Online/TV Presentation

Due to the recent developments in the ongoing

COVID 19 virus crisis, the Center of Disease Con-

trol (CDC) is recommending that all events of 50 or

more people be cancelled for the next eight weeks.

Unfortunately, these parameters include the 35th

Bryant-Jordan Scholarship Awards Banquet sched-

uled for April 13 at the Birmingham Sheraton Hotel.

In lieu of a banquet, however, the Bryant-Jordan

Foundation plans to produce a television and online

event announcing the region, class and overall 2020

Bryant-Jordan scholarship recipients as well as a

number of other special scholarships provided by

various organizations.

The Bryant-Jordan Foundation has worked out an

agreement with WOTM TV to produce a television

show which and will be broadcast over the AHSAA

TV Network and the NFHS Network. The feed will

be made available free to all cable providers and will

also be available at the following convenient links:

www.bryantjordan.org

www.ahsaa.com

www.ashof.org

The show will air on April 13 beginning at 6 p.m.,

same time as the banquet’s original start time. The

Bryant-Jordan Awards Banquet emcee Chris

Stewart will serve as the host of the broadcast.

The AHSAA TV Network and NFHS Network

had already planned to televise the banquet with

WOTM TV Vincent Earley serving as executive

producer.

“While we are very disappointed that our annual

banquet must be canceled, we are very thankful that

technology will allow us to still showcase these in-

credible student-athletes and announce the overall

scholarship recipients via television and on-line

viewing,” said Edgar Welden, Chairman and Presi-

dent of the Bryant-Jordan Foundation.

The Bryant-Jordan Program, named in honor of

legendary coaches Paul “Bear” Bryant and Ralph

“Shug” Jordan, has annually recognizes 52 senior

student-athletes, one from each of the eight AHSAA

districts in Classes 1A-6A and one from each of the

four districts in Class 7A in the Bryant-Jordan

Achievement Award category and the Bryant-Jordan

Scholar-Athlete category.

Each regional winner is presented a $3,000 schol-

arship to the college of his/her choice from the Bry-

ant-Jordan Foundation. During the broadcast, the

seven Scholar-Athlete Class winners and seven

Achievement Award Class winners will be an-

nounced. Each will receive an additional $3,500

scholarship. The Larry D. Striplin, Jr. Scholar-

Athlete of the Year recipient and the Ken and

Betty Joe Blankenship Achievement Award Stu-

dent-Athlete of the Year recipient will also be an-

nounced. Each will each receive an additional $4,000

scholarship.

The Bryant-Jordan Awards Banquet has been

held annually since 1986 with more than $10.8 mil-

lion in scholarship funding distributed to 3,222 stu-

dent recipients since its inception.

“We know this has been an emotional time for

everyone,” said Welden. “We sincerely hope that

everyone will tune in to this online/TV broadcast as

we celebrate the achievements of some of the smart-

est and most courageous student-athletes in our

state and nation.”

Medical Advisory Board Extends Physicals Through Aug. 20

The AHSAA is committed to putting the health, safety, and overall well-being of our administrators, coaches, and student-athletes at the forefront during this unprec-edented health crisis and doing what we can to hopefully return to a normal school year in 2020-21. As a result, because schools are currently closed and many schools conduct mass physicals on campus during the months of April and May, the AHSAA Medical Ad-visory Committee unanimously approved to accept all athletic Pre-Participation Physicals through the first fall contest date of the 2020-21 school year. Therefore, all physicals that are set to expire during the mandated school closures or summer months can now be accepted through August 20, 2020. After this date, all physicals must be renewed. For questions, contact Ron Ingram or Kim Vickers at 334-263-6994 or ringram@ahsaa.com or kvickers@ahsaa.com.

AHSAA NEWS UPDATES …

CDC / ADPH COVID-19 VIRUS TIPS

How to Protect Yourself Older adults and people who have severe underlying medical conditions like heart or lung disease or diabetes seem to be at higher risk for developing more serious complications from COVID-19 illness.

Know How it Spreads

There is currently no vaccine to prevent coronavirus disease 2019

(COVID-19).

Practice Social Distancing The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this

virus. The virus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person.

Between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet). Through respiratory droplets pro-duced when an infected person coughs or sneezes.

These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs. Practice ‘Social Distancing’ of a minimum 6 feet at all times!!

CDC / ADPH COVID-19 VIRUS TIPS

Take steps to protect yourself

Clean your hands often Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds

especially after you have been in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.

If soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Cover all surfaces of your hands and rub them together until they feel dry.

Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.

Avoid close contact Avoid close contact with people who are sick Put distance between yourself and other people if COVID-19 is

spreading in your community. This is especially important for people who are at higher risk of getting very sick.

CDC / ADPH COVID-19 VIRUS TIPS

Take steps to protect others

Stay home if you’re sick Stay home if you are sick, except to get medical care. Learn what to

do if you are sick.

Cover coughs and sneezes Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or

sneeze or use the inside of your elbow. Throw used tissues in the trash. Immediately wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20

seconds. If soap and water are not readily available, clean your hands with a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.

CDC / ADPH COVID-19 VIRUS TIPS

Wear a facemask if you are sick If you are sick: You should wear a facemask when you are around

other people (e.g., sharing a room or vehicle) and before you en-ter a healthcare provider’s office. If you are not able to wear a facemask (for example, because it causes trouble breathing), then you should do your best to cover your coughs and sneezes, and people who are caring for you should wear a facemask if they en-ter your room. Learn what to do if you are sick.

If you are NOT sick: You do not need to wear a facemask unless you are caring for someone who is sick (and they are not able to wear a facemask). Facemasks may be in short supply and they should be saved for caregivers.

CDC / ADPH COVID-19 VIRUS TIPS

Clean and disinfect Clean AND disinfect frequently touched surfaces daily. This in-

cludes tables, doorknobs, light switches, countertops, handles, desks, phones, keyboards, toilets, faucets, and sinks.

If surfaces are dirty, clean them: Use detergent or soap and water prior to disinfection.

To disinfect: Most common EPA-registered household disinfectants will work. Use disinfectants appropriate for the surface. Options include: Diluting your household bleach.

To make a bleach solution, mix: 5 tablespoons (1/3rd cup) bleach per gallon of water

OR 4 teaspoons bleach per quart of water

Follow manufacturer’s instructions for application and proper ventila-tion. Check to ensure the product is not past its expiration date. Nev-er mix household bleach with ammonia or any other cleanser. Unex-pired household bleach will be effective against coronaviruses when properly diluted.

Alcohol solutions. Ensure solution has at least 70% alcohol.

Other common EPA-registered household disinfectants. Products with EPA-approved emerging viral pathogens claims are expected to be effective against COVID-19 based on data for harder to kill viruses. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for all cleaning and disinfection products (e.g., concentration, application method and contact time, etc.).
