“A Brownwood athlete stopped attending workouts on June 25, 2020, when a family member started exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19. The family member was tested and confirmed positive on July 1, 2020. Upon learning of the confirmed parental-positive, all coaches and athletes who had close contact with the athlete during workouts were notified of their potential second-hand exposure.
