The 2020 spring sports season ended in North Carolina shortly after it began following the decision by the North Carolina High School Athletic Association to temporarily suspend all athletic activity as a new coronavirus began spreading a severe respiratory disease (CoVID-19) across the state.
The athletic 'shut down' went into effect on Saturday, March 14 and was originally scheduled to last through April 6. It was soon extended until May 18 before the decision was made in late April to cancel the remainder of the 2020 season completely.
Scheduled varsity athletic events missed in Randolph County due to the pandemic totaled 465, not including post-season contests:
.
| 10 |
Lacrosse Matches |
104 |
Soccer Matches |
| 24 |
Track Meets |
108 |
Softball Games |
| 29 |
Golf Matches |
133 |
Baseball Games |
| 57 |
Tennis Matches |
465 |
Regular Season events missed |
Since one event can mean more than one team misses a contest - for example, the Randolph County Track & Field Meet was one event but seven teams lost opportunities to compete - the total contests missed when broken down by teams in Randolph County was much higher:
.
| 10 |
Lacrosse Matches |
128 |
Soccer Matches |
| 45 |
Track Meets |

Softball Games |
| 67 |
