Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, some varsity programs at Newton high schools are finding ways to resume playing and continue practicing â even garnering the attention of college scouts and recruiters. And those teams sidelined due to the pandemic are eager to get back into the game for the winter and spring seasons.
Newton North Athletic Director Thomas Giusti said that in his experience, student-athletes have adjusted well despite the changes.
âThe kids have responded,â Giusti said. âTheyâve stepped up; they follow the directions.â
