No Spectators Allowed at this year's War on the Shore

Berlin, MD -- With the increasing cases of Covid-19, spectators will not be allowed at this year's War on the Shore hosted by Stephen Decatur High School. However, that does not mean families, friends and fans can't see the action. Seahawk's Head Coach Todd Martinek says that IT guru Dave Dodson worked tirelessly to put together a stream so families and fans from not only local schools competing, but also out of state programs coming from New Jersey and Virginia can also watch.

"I think of it as if it was my child, it would be something I would want," said Martinek. "Whether it's aunts, uncles, grandparents who are scared to be in crowded settings, parents unable to get out of work or unable to afford to make the travel, it gives them a nice option to watch."

Martinek, a founding member of the tournament 20 years ago, also says that knowing Covid-19 most likely wouldn't be going anywhere, he needed to be more proactive to make the tournament happen this year.

"I told the other team's coaches to plan for no spectators and no streaming. They are prepared for the worst. But as we get closer to the event, I figured if I (and with the help of Dave) could give one of those two elements back, it would be great. So I sent the links to other coaches and seeing them share it on social media and getting positive feedback and traction was great."
