In theory:
(a) some minimal amount of air may leak from around the player's mouth.
(b) the mask can provide some protection against inhaled particles (and maybe aerosols) when the player breathes in.
I haven't myself seen any documentation to demonstrate (a), and even the masks that are designed for the purpose have openings that might well defeat (b).
They have one other benefit: they make school administrators feel like they're being responsive to CDC guidelines and protecting their students.
