By David Rogers. BOONE, N.C. — With things normalizing in the High Country after the broad swath of destruction, including school and business closures, caused by Hurricane Helene, Watauga High School athletics director Dustin Kerley released an updated schedule of competition for all Fall sports, subject to any future weather-related modifications.
Things get started in earnest again on Monday, Oct. 14, with events scheduled for Women’s Tennis, Women’s Golf, Volleyball, and Men’s Soccer. Cross Country has a Northwestern Conference meet scheduled in Lenoir on Wed., Oct. 16, and Watauga has its first post-disaster Football game on Friday, Oct. 18, at Alexander Central (kickoff has been moved up to 6:30 p.m. due to an 11 p.m. curfew).
It is important to note that while Junior Varsity events have been scheduled, Varsity events are prioritized. Therefore, JV competitions may be cancelled due to numerous circumstances including but not limited to site/field availability, official availability, staffing, or timing because of reporting deadlines for playoffs.
