UNION COUNTY, N.C. — Multiple student-athletes at Forest Hills High School in Union County have been cleared to return to football practice after three players tested positive for COVID-19.
According to a spokesperson for Union County Public Schools, three players in one of the team's small workout pods tested positive a few weeks ago. All of the players in that pod were quarantined and are now allowed to return to practice.
Union County is now entering Phase 2 of NCHSAA summer workouts, which means equipment can be shared, namely footballs. Schools in Union County began workouts on July 6. Teams with Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools have not yet begun team workouts at this time.
