Most I've ever thought about soccer haha I do like watching IU in the tourneys, though.

I didn't realize I was making an argument the whole time. I was simply answering a question. I find our logistics to be, not the same as everyone else. Two of the schools you listed are literally in adjacent counties to Evansville. When you couple that with no motivation to have it in general... and there is your answer.

I guess I don't understand that, but yes, to each their own. I did grow up here, btw. And do coach here now.

I googled all of them before I posted what I posted. I understood how far in minutes and miles they were from Evansville when I posted. Thanks. We don't have soccer close to us, not hard to figure out. Not sure there was ever anything for you to take issue with.... I was asked a question about why kids in Brownstown don't play soccer.

Not a ton of our kids live in Brownstown. Poseyville to Evansville 20 miles. Tell City, Ferdinand are located RIGHT on an interstate. Petersburg RIGHT on 69. Southridge is in a county that has 3 other soccer-playing HSs.

Sorry to hear that.

It's not wrong. NP is 25 mins from Evansville. That's a far drive? Tecumseh very close to the eastside of Eville. Pike Central/TC on Hwys that are easy access to Evansville where there's an abundance of soccer. Our kids don't have that. Heck some of our kids live 30-40 mins from an interstate. In the fall-- our kids play football, baseball, or hunt... compared to driving over 3hrs round trip to the Northside of Indy to play soccer. Not gunna happen.

Yeah yeah, I knew they didn't like how fast the ball traveled, but... idk. Seymour soccer stadium is very impressive. Looks great.

Proximity to Evansville/big city in general. We are secluded, we are an island. There is nowhere for our kids to go and play soccer that isn't a hassle.

Yep. I like the infield play on it, a lot. Make sure you give yourself plenty of time to stop on a slide!

What do those schools have in common that Brownstown doesn't? Especially North Posey/Tecumseh.... but even still Pike Central/Tell City have very simple drives/access to... Outside of that--- we simply don't want it.

We have 480 students, so 240-ish boys... 60-65 of those play football. We also don't really have anyone in the community that cares to have soccer.

We get a huge amount of time on it, even with no soccer.

And while we're on the topic... I know soccer people don't like the turf for soccer, I don't have a lot of opinion there.... For baseball/softball it's tremendous. Keeping the batters boxes level probably being the biggest.

Yep. I have had them on there!

Ahhh ha. Thanks man

Very impressive

Year A (this year)... our schedule will look like this... Scrimmage- turf 1- turf 2- tuf 3- turf 4- turf 5-grass 6- tuf 7- turf 8- turf 9- turf Year B (next year) scrimmage- turf 1- turf 2- turf 3- grass 4- turf 5- turf 6- turf 7- turf 8- turf 9- grass So... in a two-year time frame, our 20 schedule nights against other teams, 17 of them will be on turf. Wild

More updated #s.... % of schools with turf.. 6A- 100% 5A- 84% 4A- 83% 3A- 55% 2A- 24% 1A- 17% State as a whole-- 55% have turf 42% don't have turf 3% don't have own field

No no. No worries at all. Apologize I came off that way.

Yes yes. thought I had heard that, needed to confirm. welp.. .more adjusting. That is all from 4 years ago when I was on here trying to get posters to tell me what fields had which playing surface. I always questioned that one.

I mean, those are two pretty solid fields. Two of the better grass fields, consistently, that I've ever coached/played on. Salem/Corydon fields were poor. (just like ours was before we replaced it)... again, not a shot at either of those schools, just the reality. NH's field isn't bad, huge crown, which was annoying as a QB. They also have hills in the back of each endzone lol

Oh no. More number crunching. There's another one I was surprised didn't have it.
