but not all fans can attend games

Ladycats
As the high school winter sports season gets underway, official guidelines have been announced by Pendleton County High School in conjunction with the KHSAA.
From an aesthetics perspective, the look of the game setting will be much different from the norm, just as it was during the fall sports season.
Fan attendance and capacity will be limited to two tickets per participant for home and visiting teams. There will be no passes accepted for entry.
All attendees will be required to undergo temperature checks, health screenings and provide contact information for contact tracing. All spectators are to wear masks at all times.
Additionally, there will be specific steps taken in handling entry into the gym. Home game attendees will enter the doors on the right side of the gym lobby, closest to the Griffin Fitness Center and will be seated on the right side of the gym across from the benches.
Visiting team fans will enter on the left side doors and be seated on the left side of the gym behind the team benches. All doors for entry will be marked.
Fans arriving in the same vehicle or are apart of the same family unit can sit together, but social distancing of at least six feet apart must be demonstrated by attendees not arriving in the same vehicle or apart of the same family.
There will be sanitation stations setup throughout the gym and all spectators are encouraged to clean their hands frequently. Failure to adhere to any of the guidelines could result in removal from the event or cancellation of the event.
For fans unable to attend will be able to access a free live game stream which will be available throughout the season. The link can be found at pendleton.kyschools.us/content2/pcslivemedia.
