WOAY – The West Virginia Department of Education released its latest color-coded map, with Southern West Virginia seeing changes to the high school sports schedule as a result.
Fayette County is in the “red zone,” which means another week of no contests for Oak Hill, Midland Trail, or Meadow Bridge. Wyoming County is gold, which means Westside and Wyoming East can play each other, or teams from other gold counties (Logan or Ohio). All other area counties are currently green or yellow.
Kanawha, Mingo, and Putnam counties are also in red, with Boone and Monongalia counties in orange, which means no contests for high school teams from those counties, either.
Westside and Wyoming East were scheduled to play each other in football Tuesday in Clear Fork, and with the latest map update that game appears to be unaffected. However, Westside cannot host Independence in a game planned for Saturday.
