In a statement issued by Cherokee County High School Head Coach Jacob Kelley on Tuesday (June 30th), prior to workouts on Wednesday, June 24th, the team had two players who did not pass the required pre-screening process and they were sent home.

Coach Kelley stated they later received word that both of those players, and another, in that morning group – bringing the total to three – have tested positive for COVID-19.  Kelley went on to say that the players’ safety is the number one priority.  The players and parents of the potentially exposed group have been notified individually.

There will be no athletic plans for the current week and all the facilities will be cleaned and sanitized thoroughly during this time, with the intention of starting back Monday, July 6th.

That, according to a post on the Cherokee County High School Warriors Facebook page
