Giantbeareagle80 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Most of these matchups look like good games. I do not have much knowledge on a lot of these teams to say much. It will be a big night at Frankton.... first game at the new Otis Cress Field. New Coach and staff. Introducing past player and coaches. The team looked decent at Yorktown last week. They held YT to one score. Defense showed some grit and flew to the ball. (Finally) Offense looked like the push mower you pull out of the barn in the spring... sputted and struggled to get going ,but by the end was running pretty good. We all just want to see some improvement over the past 3 years. Show some Eagle Pride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BACKSIDEBELLY Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 I think that Eastbrook might be the only team in the conference to win this week. Hope I’m wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Introducing past player and coaches. I bet the place will be packed. What an atmosphere! I've been to games at that field when my brother played for HH from '69-'72. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original location years ago. I haven't been by there, but the visitor bleachers used to be extremely close to the street.

Wow, I didn’t know they were moving games back over there. Why did they relocate? New turf? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a little odd it wasn't by the high school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giantbeareagle80 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 They were putting in a turf field and with the possibility of a new HS in the future. They decided to put it back at the present HS location. If they build a new school it would have been where the football field is located by the Elementary. We are now able to get the visiting team in a locker room. (52 lockers) It is bigger then the Home locker room was last year. I never understood why it was not built at the HS. Glad its back home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
