Abingdon-Avon Football Coach Rick Quinn Says Concerns About Safety of Mask Wearing for Players Remain

Share

The Abingdon-Avon Tornado football team got its shortened season off to a nice start on Friday night, beating Lewistown 24-8 as football season opened up around the state this past weekend. Players and coaches are required to wear masks on the field and sidelines this season. There has been concern about the safety of players wearing a mask AND a mouth guard at the same time. I asked Tornado head coach Rick Quinn how things went for his masked-up players on Friday night.
