Southlake Carroll coach Riley Dodge will not coach the Dragons' 6A Division I state semifinal game against Duncanville on Saturday, TexasFootball.com has confirmed. Defensive coordinator Lee Munn will serve as interim coach.
Dodge will miss the game due to COVID protocols.
"I couldn't be more proud of the hard work put in by our athletes and our coaches," Dodge said in a school-released statement. "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."
Carroll school officials say contact tracing was conducted under the guidance of Tarrant County Public Health and no other coaches or student athletes will be required to quarantine as a result. That said, coached and students were notified and urged to monitor for fever or symptoms, per the release.
The Dragons will face the Panthers at 3 p.m. at Globe Life Park on Saturday.
