That would be easy to justify to them. Not so easy to the AD, though.

JV BC 32 Seymour 2

Gotcha. And thank you.

Just curious... why didn't Salem and Valley play in JV?

Our 8th grade plays at home tomorrow. Is that what you're referring to?

Bump

Brownstown Central needs a JV game on this coming Monday. We will travel, it was an expected road game for us anyways. DM me on here or email Coach May rmay@btownccs.k12.in.us

Feet would get almost pruney. I do NOT miss that. I'll take the extra heat on hot days.

I washed the mud out of my eyelids every other play. lol ...it was wild

as they should... I'm in favor of neutral site games after the sectional at pre-determined locations.. and obviously with turf.

L O L.... yes my ankles were 100% our grass field's fault. Wild for you to try and tell ME what the issue was with MY ankles. It sucks. We could have a lot of fun talking about sports. Who still uses textbooks? lol

Tradition? A tradition of what? Grass stains on uniforms do absolutely nothing for me. Overrated. Mud sucks. I won a regional in the muddiest field you've ever seen, ask the Southridge people about it. Again, overrated. Build character? How on earth could it build character? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My takeaways from playing 99% of my football games on grass were.... 1. I had to wear ankle braces in every athletic "event, practice, pickup game" after playing on grass... because our practice field and game field were so poor my ankles were absolutely ruined from planting, cutting, and dropping back to pass on it for 4 years... 2. I hated it when it was wet, the ball was slick as hell because there would be a muddy film on the ball, along with the rain. Sucked, and essentially impossible to throw the ball. 3. Morning practices sucked.

Of course it does. We are a small school and infinite amounts of more groups use the turf than band, football. But you want a cost analysis, that's fine, but make sure it's an apples to apples comparison. You spend X amount of dollars for so much time on the turf vs X amount of dollars for the time on a grass field. You have to take into account the massive disparity in usage time or the comparison is a waste of time. I'm failing to see the advantages of grass, other than... yeah, not spending any money.

I can't imagine it getting more use than our field, or even anything close to it.. and you still have the issue of JV, youth, 7/8 ruining your game field. Which.. every year.. ours was absolutely torched no matter how much we didnt use it. Plus-- we added significantly more and better parking by getting rid of most of our practice field. We have batting cages to take batting practice in, and we use the Aux gym if its poor weather after school or we just stay on the turf. What we didn't have is the ability to be on a field 24/7 and not ruin it. Well with the lack of mods, it was bound to happen.

hahahahahahahahahaha ^ Which makes no sense, and... clearly isn't realistic. But, by god... carry on!

But the #s aren't what you should compare.... what you should compare is the # of hours you can be on each of them. Those #s aren't comparable. You essentially can barely touch a grass field to ensure it makes it through a season.... and that's not even counting practicing on it, or the off-season. That's crazy with how much you can be on the turf.

Believing this stuff is wild though. We don't have more injuries on our turf, really it isn't even close, Now that's just our school. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35593739/ "58% more likely to be injured on turf than grass"... is where you should have stopped reading. Preposterous to believe that. Shameful? lol

I'm sure there is a line through the 50.

BINGO not sure I follow

I'm sorry you weren't able to handle that.

It bothers no one here, that turf bothers you. 🤣🤣🤣

But, this thread isn't about how "expensive" turf is? lol ....literally we've been over this. Simple stuff man.

Happy to see it!

I guess we should put them in bubble wrap 🤣🤣 It is pretty funny how much this topic brothers the troll.

It's always confusing when people post stuff that has nothing to do with "Indiana High Schools getting turf"... Yes, injuries happen in football. lol
