"HOUSTON &#x2013; This past Friday, the Shadow Creek High School football team beat Strake Jesuit. But before that, they had to beat COVID-19.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#x201C;It was actually a weekend, I got a call that, you know, we had a little bit of an issue,&#x201D; said head coach Brad Butler. &#x201C;So you start worrying about a lot of different areas when it happens.&#x201D;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The Sharks missed two full weeks of practice and games.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#x201C;We were just making sure, if you go out, make sure you wear a mask, and limit the time if you are outside,&quot; said senior Jairo Castillo.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Senior quarterback and Baylor commit Kyron Drones made sure the guys were staying in shape during those two weeks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#x201C;You got to make sure you&#x2019;re on your teammates, make sure they&#x2019;re working, not just sitting at home doing nothing,&#x201D; Drones said. &#x201C;Because everybody would get out of game shape.&#x201D;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Missing two games would have put a major wrench in the Sharks&#x27; football schedule had it not been for a contingency plan that was put in place this summer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#x201C;23-6A, we got together and we were just trying to look at all different areas. And so we all dropped a non-district game and were able to create two off-weeks at the end of the season,&#x201D; Butler said.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And for the reigning state champions, staying vigilant will be key.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#x201C;We&#x2019;re just making sure they know football is the bigger picture right now,&#x201D; Drones said. &#x201C;I know people want to hang out and do stuff, but we can&#x2019;t have that right now until the season is over with.&#x201D;"
