Four positive results Wednesday were from one sports team. As a result, close contacts were then tested, followed by the entire team, where four more positive results were discovered. These eight students are self-isolating or have returned to residences out of the area. All spring football classes are currently suspended per community college out-of-season protocol. The entire team will quarantine and complete antigen tests on Monday, with unvaccinated students completing a PCR test, before resuming activities.
