App State head football coach Shawn Clark and his program are adapting to the unusual circumstances COVID-19 has caused.
One important step to beginning the season is testing everyone in the program for the virus. Clark didn’t confirm a number of positive COVID-19 results, but he said the team has been “very lucky” during a Zoom call Thursday morning.
“We’ve had a couple positives, but we were on those very quick,” Clark said. “We follow the university’s guidelines and do what we have to do to quarantine our players.”
Clark also discussed some of the ways the program is preventing the spread of the coronavirus, including mandatory masks while in the athletics building and limiting workout groups to nine players and a strength coach at a time.
