Coach Harvey

Edit: Answered my own question. Brutal sectional that will be.

Memorial is still up in 4A due to SF, correct?

This is absurd. I will not speak for Coach Wes but I know that the Greensburg staff has the upmost respect for east central and their coaching staff. Happy for them and their coaches as they are likely headed to another state championship.

My Picks - Jerry Brewer, Bud Wright, Bob Gaddis, Dick Dullaghan

Being a newcomer to this conference, this has to be one of the most hilarious conference threads every week. Well done everyone.

As would I, however, I would say in my entire career (HS/College) I played on 1 properly maintained grass field. I had 3 injuries directly related to field conditions on grass and never had an issue on turf. In the instance of the NFL with the resources to properly maintain a grass playing surface they should do so, but don't think that's scalable for high schools.

Here you go @Muda69 A study completed in 2011 found that there is no scientific evidence to support concern that the turf is harboring the bacteria that causes MRSA. Serensits TJ, McNitt AS, Peterunak DM. Human health issues on synthetic turf in the USA. J Sports Eng. & Tech. 2011;225(Part P). DOI:10.1177/1754337111398407. Furthermore, a study completed in 2004 found that while turf burn may open up the skin for infection, the bacteria was actually being transmitted in the locker room. Begier et al. 2004. A High-Morbidity Outbreak of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus among Players on a College Football Team, Facilitated by Cosmetic Body Shaving and Turf Burns. Clin Inf Dis. 2004;39:1446-53.

And it appears some of us will choose to die on certain hills no matter what.

The irony of this statement given your profile picture is amusing.

Quite the double entendre in the title.

Forgot about Dwenger. Good stuff.

First time in a while 5a will have no success factor teams. New Pal will move down to 4a and Cathedral up to 6a. Cathedral moving up means Harrison will be the first team in 5a and Greenfield will bump down to 4a.
