With the Carnivorous, Minnesota State High School League has cancelled all spring sports.
This is the last thing a high school senior wants to end their career. No last game at home. No final game against your rival. No chance at the state tournament.
Not to mention the other person goals. For example in baseball. A chance for the school record in Home Runs or Strike Outs for a pitcher. A chance to win over a scout to go to college. Or to finally letter in the sport.
That brings me to my point. I think that school and the Minnesota State High School League should letter all seniors this season. It is the least that can be done. The student has lost the season and a little compensation would be nice. The letter is a goal all student athletes strive for.
Is it doing any harm to award them the letter. No.
I have heard some colleges are thinking of giving students another year of eligibility. Nice for the college athlete. Can't think of one student that wants to go back to high school for another year.
Small price to pay to make up for a lost season.
