Wednesday, August 12, 2020 at 3:13 PM

This plan has been approved by the Ripley County Health Department and school administration.

(Batesville, Ind.) - School is back in session and Friday night lights are right around the corner. With that being said, local school corporations must make changes to the regulations surrounding attendance at these events to align with the current COVID-19 pandemic.

Fall sports are scheduled to begin at Batesville High School on Saturday, August 15, with a girls soccer game and football scrimmage. Sporting events starting on that date and thereafter will have limited access for fans.

Players and coaches will be given a predetermined number of “vouchers” that can be redeemed for tickets at the gate. Fans with a ticket voucher will be permitted access to attend the sporting event.

Details on procedures for game entry, concessions and facility use will be made available at the event.

“We understand there are many people that want to come out and watch the Bulldogs,” BHS athletic director Bryan Helvie commented. “Unfortunately, we will be limiting our attendance to help meet health/safety concerns and capacity requirements. This plan will be in place until Gov. Eric Holcomb and the State of Indiana lift the restrictions on gathering sizes.”

Governor Holcomb's face covering mandate will apply to indoor and outdoor events.

All-Sports Passes will not be sold for the fall season.

This plan has been approved by the Ripley County Health Department and school administration.
