Let's Go Blackhawks

Friday night will be the start of the 2021 football season. We are excited to host the first game of the year against Woodbury Central in a non-district contest.We also want to express our gratitude to the parents tomorrow night as we celebrate you and thank you for all of your support. We expect our fans to be loud and proud in support of our Blackhawks and we would like to remind everyone of the following:

"Hinton Community Schools believes sportsmanship is an expectation, so please let the players play, let the coaches coach, let officials officiate, and let the spectators be positive."

We also ask our fans to cooperate with us in the following ways:

Elementary Students

We understand that many of the elementary children who go to the games will want to be active. We know they have a lot of energy and sitting in the stands the entire game is difficult. We ask parents to partner with us in their supervision. We would like them to either be with you in the stands or in the area in the north end zone beyond the fence. We ask that they stay out of the baseball and softball field areas.

Middle School - High School

Sit in the reserved student section in the home side bleachers.

Golf Carts:

At this time, there is no rule against having your golf cart in the football field complex. We would like to keep the carts corralled to the area around the crow's nest on each side. Also, no outside drink or food should be brought into the complex. Please do not leave your cart unattended.

Below are the Iowa High School Athletic Association Policies for their sanctioned events:

PETS PROHIBITED AT IHSAA SANCTIONED EVENTS

Except as otherwise stated herein, no pets are permitted at events sanctioned by the Iowa High School Athletic Association. Any person found with a pet will be asked to remove the pet from the premises. Failure to comply will result in the person being asked to leave the premises. However, this policy shall comply with the provisions of Iowa code 216c. as such, a person with a disability or a person training an assistive animal has the right to be accompanied by a service dog or an assistive animal, under control. The person is liable for damage done to any premises or facility by a service dog or assistive animal. A “service dog” means a dog specially trained at a recognized training facility to assist a person with a disability, whether described as a service dog, guide dog, hearing dog, support dog, independence dog, or otherwise. An “assisted animal” means a simian or other animal specially trained or in the process of being trained under the auspices of a recognized training facility to assist a person with a disability.

NO ALCOHOL POLICY

No alcohol or tobacco is to be sold or consumed on the grounds of any state tournament venue leased or provided to the IHSAA for the purpose of conducting a State Championship.

Section 123.46 of the Iowa State Code states: “A person shall not possess or consume alcoholic liquors, wine or beer on public school property or while attending a public or private school-related function. A person shall not be intoxicated or simulate intoxication in public place. A person violating this subsection is guilty of a simple misdemeanor.

NO SMOKING, CHEWING, OR VAPING REGULATION

The no smoking regulation is to be observed on the playing grounds by the officials in charge, coaches, faculty representatives, team trainers, players, and player bench occupants. There should be no use of tobacco (including vaping and smokeless) by players or coaches in all sports programs. Disqualification will be the result for the participant, and if the coach uses tobacco, a written report will be submitted to the IHSAA Office as a means of follow-up to the school and said individual will not coach in postseason competition.

Thank you for following these policies and being an excellent role model for our young ones.
