Athletic director Coy Weeks said that Poplar’s first high school football game of the season went pretty well as far as social distancing.

The volleyball match scheduled in Malta for Saturday, Sept. 12, was rescheduled because there were concerns after the Indians played in Wolf Point on Thursday, Sept. 10.

“I thought better safe than sorry,” Weeks said.

Guidelines for Poplar’s athletic activities include not to exceed 75 percent fan capacity for the school gym and that face coverings are required.

Poplar High School Principal Terry Falcon explained that homecoming activities this week will only include coronation taking place during half-time of the football game and dress-up days during the week.

Poplar Superintendent of Schools Dan Schmidt said there are 14 regional home school students. Montana State University - Northern has seven practicum students in Poplar this year.
