Bigger impact
Weissenfl uh said the
impact of the pandemic is
something everyone in the
conference and throughout
the nation is dealing with.
Last season, which did not
see EOU’s basketball teams
begin play until February,
taught the Mountaineers to
be fl exible and to adjust on
the fl y.
“Our conference is
aligned in how we are han-
dling it in our processes and
policies,” Weissenfl uh said.
“We are allowed to play
when we are healthy, and
we will be blessed when
those opportunities come.”
Having the ability to
practice and compete are
no longer taken for granted,
but that does not mean the
last year and a half has been
easy on the athletes.
“The struggles have been
real,” Weissenfl uh said.
“Managing their class load,
taking more online classes
has all been a struggle. We
try to acknowledge that and
fi nd that balance. We want
to be positive, but keep it
real because it has impacted
all of our student-athletes in
diff erent ways.”
