    They have a turf field, they just don't play games on it.

    I am aware

    For sure a different category then the rest. Cathedral, Ev Memorial, Ev Mater Dei, SB Wash, Ritter, Boone Grove, Scecina, Cov Christian, FW Snider. Those are the schools I have as not having their own field.

    As if high schools having artificial turfs fields wasn't extravagant enough I guess they all need to be in domes as well.  That should solve that pesky sun problem once and for all.

     

    I agree!

    Well, for now it is the only one in the US.  Quick read said it was constructed in 91.

    Unreal and not needed, but at least the taxpayers got a "vote" in the matter.

    I think it's very needed. Looks awesome. Not really news though, I have seen that place multiple times in searches and articles.

    I know Castle still does not have field turf.   Are there any other 6A/5A schools (with their own field) that don’t have field turf? 

    There are no 6As without turf. FW Carroll was the last one. 

    As mentioned Castle, Mishawaka, FW NS, Concord, and the two TH HS in 5A don't have turf. 

    I also have Cathedral and FW Snider as the schools in these classes that don't have their own field. I did a breakdown off all the teams with turf and have kept that graph for about 4 years now and have updated it. When they come out with the new sectionals I will update it and check again. We are nearing 50% of the state as having turf.

    And CG and BD are about 30 min so why should they both drive and hour or longer to a neutral site.  Now if the ihsaa wanted to a cause by cause call on this I would think that would could work

    lol... play the Indy 6A regional....... in Indy? What's so hard about that? Why would the 6A regional be in the South? makes zero sense. Heaven forbid ANYONE in Indy ever have to drive anywhere? Good grief. I have zero sympathy if your 30 min drive had to be 45 mins. Zero. 

    Find the nicest stadium on the southside of Indy that's neutral site and play it there. We drive 2.5 hours for a regional game and have drive that far for a sectional, as well, multiple times. 

    We have neutral sites in basketball, baseball, and volleyball.... I would like to see it attempted in football. I think they do that in college too right?

    It can be done. Took me about an hour to identify neutral sites with turf for every (likely) regional game.  They could also select regional sites for each matchup prior to the start of the tournament, which would give host sites more time to plan ahead.  There are enough schools now with turf that it could be done.  Semi-state games at neutral sites are long overdue in my opinion. Do it like basketball and volleyball - 2 games on Saturday using 6 sites (3 north, 3 south).

    NO!!!! We HATE innovative ideas!!!! 😂

    Why I hope they never why would I want to drive an hour or longer to a neutral site when it is a home game or I only would have to drive about 30 min tops

     

    as my kids would say that is a boomer thing to say.  When I assume you are are around my age we played all thier was was grass and by this time of year ever feild was a mess up, now  with truff you can make the game  better and take weather a little bit out of the equation for the game.  It kind of like using map quest and print your driving directions still in stread of use gps on your phone.

    East Central vs. Ev Memorial is 3hr 45mins one way. Play it in Seymour. 1.5hr for EC 2.5 for Evansville Mem.

     Idk. Just an idea.

    I did see that in a couple of places where my boys played this past summer ... where the homeplate area had turf although the rest of the field was natural.  Thought it was actually a smart idea the way that kids dig out that area.  The box lines styed fully intact for the whole tournament which was great.

    And it's much, much safer than regular batters boxes.

    Yeah, my son plays football and baseball at Harrison and they do some early-Spring baseball practice out on the football field to avoid tearing up the baseball field when it gets nice enough to get outside, but still not really dry.  Heard a rumor that turf might be in the future for Harrison's baseball field too.

    It should at least be on the mound and batters box everywhere

    I was really looking to offer another opinion. For a football field however I have to totally agree.

    The more and more we go from our turf to grass.. just isn't close. Turf you literally always know what you're getting, and basically don't have to worry about any sort of slick surface. 

    Last year in the sectional it poured for a good 2 hours round 1.. we waited it out, started at like 930.... it was as if it didn't rain at all.  I can't of an advantage for grass. I'm also a guy that loved the rain and mud.. loved. I'm glad we've found something better though.

    The scuttlebutt in FW is that the NEW Superintendent of FWCS is all about have ALL 4 HS fields turfed ASAP!  He doesn't understand the delay in not going forward.  

    As I said before, FW Wayne has 'jumped' FW South and is getting Field Turf after this season.  But there is a possibility that South/North and Wayne may all get Field Turf before next season.  

    Is there a possibility that talk will again start on FW Snider getting their own field?  

    I have Snider marked as having turf. Who do they share a field with? And who's field is it?

    Is there a break down anywhere on how many 1-3a teams have turf fields?  I'm also curious about how many from the north vs south have turf fields.

     

    Yep. Just request access to my document and it will show you the whole state broken down by sectional.

    Top tier basketball program???

    Have you not been paying attention?

    Feeder system is legit, mostly really good coaches coaching those teams, Sturgeon takes a back seat to no one, and they've produced two D1 kids recently. 

    Yeah.. a top tier basketball program. 

    Outside of Bloom S, in the 812, there's no one that has a better one.
