CISD released a press release on January 5 stating Carroll Football head coach Riley Dodge is doing well after testing positive for COVID-19. He will not be on the sidelines for the state semi-final game against Duncanville scheduled for Saturday, January 9.
Lee Munn will be leading the Dragons into battle as the acting head coach and calling defense while Chris Smith calls offense. CISD athletic director Steve Keasler says the team will continue to follow all social distancing and safety protocols.
“I couldn’t be more proud of the hard work put in by our athletes and our coaches,” Dodge says via press release. “While this is certainly disappointing timing for me, I am taking care of myself and getting the rest I need, expecting a full recovery. It’s important to me that we follow our typical protocols and schedule, keeping everyone focused on the kids and on this week’s game.”
No other coaches or student athletes will be required to quarantine as a result of this case. However, CISD reports individual coaches and students were notified on Tuesday to monitor their health, report to CISD if they experience symptoms and stay home if they are sick.
