Lead-Deadwood School District

For HSVB fans - we have been informed that the Red Cloud school district is in a "high risk level" for Covid. What that means is that if you plan to attend the HSVB games on Tuesday, Sept. 27th, you will need to wear a mask while in their gym. They have also limited attendance to the game - each member of the team will be given two passes to hand out and be used to enter the game. Since we are two weeks away, this could change but it is highly doubtful, so please plan accordingly and plan to respect their expectations for our VB match. Thank you. Mr. Nepodal
