Student Athletes of Washington (SAW) is a statewide grassroots effort, including local high school football and girls’ soccer players, with the goal of getting fall sports underway. The group congregated via Zoom for meetings and headed to Olympia with a crew of 100 for discussion at the Capital.

“We really represent all the student athletes in Washington who want to play a fall season and not have that postponed to the spring or even canceled,” said Sam Huard, one of the founding members of SAW.

The group looks to other states, 39 total, that are participating in fall sports as scheduled whereas in Washington some fall sports are scheduled to pick up in February 2021.

“We just feel we could be playing these sports in a safe way right now,” said Hurad.
