I knew it was coming, but right now it’s upsetting because it was my last season and we only got to play three games of the six we had," said Sahuaro senior Damon Robledo.
"I guarantee you that I can speak for the others that we are grateful that we got to play some games," said Sahuaro senior Tommy Cullop. "We got to have some practices, we got to have anything of a season.
Over at Catalina Foothills, Falcons head coach Darius Kelly respects the decision to end the season
"I totally agree with Pima health and what they feel up is the best way to keep our kids safe," said Kelly.

"You know it’s disappointing because of all the work that went in to it, and the precautions that we all took. I’m sure every school going through this."
Kelly says he feels most for his seniors, and has a message for his team.
