HINTON - Despite spring sports being canceled in their entirety for Hinton High School and all other public and private schools across the state of Oklahoma due to the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic, the Comets’ senior athletes in the Class of 2020 did plenty to shine.

This is a very tough pill to swallow for these seniors and the rest of the Hinton community as these kids are unable to compete in spring sports this year, but many memories were made by many Comets’ Class of 2020 athletes that will last a lifetime.

As for right now, these kids and coaches will follow what the Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association (OSSAA) communicates to them with updates regarding athletics in the state. “It is permissible for coach

“It is permissible for coaches and directors to send workout routines to their respective teams,” announced the OSSAA this week. “The routines must be general in nature, no activity-specific instruction may be given. The original correspondence was intended to simulate the dead week; however, it was not intended to prohibit coaches from recommending a workout routine for the current team members. Coaches may not instruct or guide the workout, but they may provide written workouts, or virtual workouts through YouTube or another virtual platform. No school facilities may be used. Team meetings conducted virtually for the purpose of organizing future fundraising efforts, ordering uniforms or other administrative purposes are permitted.”

Regardless, these kids should be extremely proud of themselves. They will get through this COVID-19 situation together and continue to thrive in their futures.
