Volleyball team forced to forfeit playoff tournament after coach catches COVID
MANITOU SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) The Manitou Springs High School Girls Volleyball season is cut short after a one-week COVID-19 quarantine ends three hours too late to play in regionals on Saturday.
The volleyball team tells KRDO Newschannel 13 it began a seven-day quarantine last Saturday, April 24 at 2:00 p.m. after the coach tested positive for COVID-19. Their mandated quarantine ends at 2 p.m. on Saturday, May 1. However, the Manitou Springs high school girls volleyball team was supposed to play in the regional tournament Saturday, May 1 at 11:00 a.m.
Because the team won’t have completed its full quarantine by then, they’re forced to forfeit playoff play. In turn, the volleyball team also loses the chance to advance to the state tournament and be seen by college recruiters.
