COVID Protocol Postpones 4 League Games for Army

Quarantine protocol following a positive COVID-19 test within Army's Tier 1 team cohort has upended Army's schedule for two weekends in a row. Last weekends two games against Colgate were postponed, as were the two games this weekend against Holy Cross.

Tier 1 is designated as athletes, coaches, athletic trainers, physical therapists, medical staff, equipment staff and team officials.

It's too bad because this interrupts what has been a better than projected season for Army with the team achieving a 9-4 overall record and going 5-3 in league play.

I haven't seen any info on the Army athletics website nor the Patriot League website indicating the plan for when the games will be rescheduled. The Patriot League has been hit hard by Tier 1 positives across the league postponing numerous games so rescheduling will be a challenge.

In the misery loves company department, Navy's three games for this weekend against American have also been postponed (one of those games was already a make-up for a previous cancellation). Navy's games the following weekend (13-14 Feb) have also already been announced as postponed.

The Inside Stuff Army Coaching Change!

I just received a call earlier from the Illinois Rivals site, asking about Army DL Coach, Tank Wright, who has been hired as the new Illinois strength coach.

Wright's one season with Army was a success and he will be missed for sure. Not only in the development of the defensive line, but he is an outstanding recruiter.

It is my understanding that defensive coordinator Nate Woody will be interviewing candidates as early as today.
