Sure, until you're playing in literal mud by late September. Because 5 different sporting teams are using the field...
Yes, I understand that issue with high school programs and that the large majority of them do not have the resources/manpower to keep a grass field pristine into November. But schools with grass fields have been keeping them up for years and there is no reason why this cannot continue. And I should have prefaced my comment by saying it applied more to pro and college teams. They do have vast resources and manpower to maintain a grass field. No college or pro team should ever have artificial surfaces. Doing so is only a sign of laziness and being cheap. As well, grass is better for the health of the players and stays cooler in scorching hot weather.
We aren't huge fans of the P at midfield. We wanted a Pirate decal or at least a Pirate Flag.....
Page's field is not only used by Page, it is a community field and also one of our feeder middle schools use it too.
That specific P has been used quite a bit. I was just saying im not a big fan of it. It's better than nothing.
The game was always scheduled for Thursday. It was a mutual decision by both ADs.
Ugh...no telling how bad this will get when Page plays Grimsley. Could be a running clock in the second half.
That Harrison Kid is I think 6-8 and he is the starting Center for the 2A State Runners Up against Farmville Central. Just a Soph at that. Somebody from Reidsville told me on Thursday that he wants to play Football and Basketball in College like Julius Peppers and Charlie Ward did in College.
It might get pretty bad... Page had like a 25+ year winning streak against Grimsley back in the 80s-90s-00s and another 12 year streak after 2006. So, Grimsley will do everything they can to embarrass us. It's part of this great rivalry. We pulled down their pants for so many years, only right that it's their turn now. lol
I hope so, this confrence needs strength to stay relevant.
