South Lakes High School’s varsity and junior varsity football teams have paused all activities through April 4 one day before spring break ends after 11 players tested positive for COVID-19, Fairfax County Public Schools confirmed to Reston Now.
ABC7’s Scott Abraham first reported the teams’ activities had been put on hold due to positive COVID-19 cases. The Seahawks’ March 26 home game against Washington-Liberty and April 1 game at Langley were both canceled.
South Lakes Principal Kim Retzer alerted families to the multiple positive cases of COVID-19 at the school in an emailed letter on March 25, stating that the cases appeared to be “confined to a contained group of students (such as a sports team or a club).”
