Good luck to the girls basketball team tonight in Oelwein!! Good luck to the boys basketball team tonight at home vs. Oelwein!! You can watch these events by subscribing to the NFHS network at www.nfhsnetwork.com and searching New Hampton Community School.
Further clarification on the Governor's mandate: Only households of participating athletes/cheerleaders/coaches may attend scheduled events. All family members of participates should arrive as a group with a conference pass.
Tonight's Double Dual between NH/TV, Charles City, and Oelwien will allow members of the same household into the event with conference issued passes. Masks and social distancing are required in the gym. Spectators will only be allowed in the gym when their team is wrestling. When not wrestling, spectators will be sent to the cafeteria to wait for the next dual. NH/TV fans should not arrive until 6:50 as NHTV does not wrestle in the first dual. We will be clearing the gym between duals to allow for sanitization. Oelwein fans are asked to sit on the south bleachers (furthest from entry) and Charles City fans are asked to sit on the north bleachers for the first dual. We will have a concession stand available, but all food and drink must be consumed in the cafeteria and cannot be brought into the gym.
Here is the YouTube livestream link for tonight's duals: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWgPKlWwLTE&feature=youtu.be
