Hidalgo County has been hit particularly hard by COVID-19 with nearly 1,500 deaths and approaching 60,000 cases. The county alone makes up for about 8% of the total number of cases in Texas. The numbers have been trending down, significantly so, but Rio Hondo ISD does not feel it is yet safe to have fall sports. They have a tentative plan to restart in-person classes on November 2 and still hope to play spring sports.
