According to Coppell coach Ryan Murphy, the Coppell girls basketball team will be in quarantine until Nov. 19 due to a positive COVID-19 test, per the University Interscholastic League (UIL) guidelines to pause play for two weeks.

District policy and federal medical law prevent Coppell from revealing who tested positive for the virus.

Coppell will postpone three games: tonight at Red Oak, Highland Park on Nov. 13 at home and at Haltom on Nov. 17. Their next game is scheduled to be Grapevine in Grapevine’s main gym 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 20.
