ESCAMBIA COUNTY, FL - The flu is keeping students home from Tate High School, and canceling some sporting events.

Most of the girls' volleyball team was out sick over the past few days.

Their matches on Monday and Tuesday were canceled, but they were back on the court Thursday night.

Some did have the swine flu, others had the regular flu and seasonal colds.

Elaine Skinner/Tate High Volleyball Team: "I had regular flu, I didn't have swine flu but some did. Thankfully not on varsity, mainly JV and freshman, but pretty much just the regular flu on varsity."

The principal says there have been up to two hundred students out sick each day.

Usually only about 110 are absent this time of year.
