ASJCPUMA Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 So there are 48 sights where sectional championships will be held this weekend According to the 2021 Football Digest based on what is in the book the following was derived 6A - 7 games on turf and 1 on natural grass 5A - 7 games on turf and 1 on grass 4A - 6 games on turf and 2 on grass 3A - 4 games on turf and 4 on grass 2A - 3 games on turf and 5 on grass 1A - 1 game on turf and 7 on grass These #'s were derived from the digest and some information may have changed since it was submitted to print 28 on turf and 20 on grass The next question would be what if any of the grass fields are worn or tore up from games last weekend?

Run what you brung. I guess these turf teams that have to play on grass better invest in some good old school cleats. It works better if you file the last 1/8 inch or so of plastic from each cleat, so that the end of the metal post is exposed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had two different lengths for sure, and I seem to remember possibly three. Only downside is sometimes one would back out. Played/practiced more than I care to remember on wet/muddy surfaces. Survived just fine and absolutely loved it. Turf vs. no turf sometimes seems like a first world problem to me. But I understand, the game changes based on the type and quality of playing surface.

NONE of the 6A games are being played on grass! 10 minutes ago, Staxawax said: Which 6A is natural grass? NONE... Information provided is inaccurate.

HoopsCoach Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 13 minutes ago, Staxawax said: Which 6A is natural grass? I think the error was FW Carroll. Up until this year, they had natural grass. They built a new stadium that opened this year, which has turf. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DumfriesYMCA Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 I feel like there have been 5/6 different threads about fields/field conditions/moving locations….. like y’all are just beating around the bush because that one thread got locked up 😉 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCGrad92 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 We wore Speedways Field up pretty good on Friday Night. See if it can spring back up during the week. They do have a nice Grass Field, but with all the rain last week and it rained the entire game Friday Night, it was nice and muddy. I haven't checked weather for Friday night yet though.

ASJCPUMA Posted November 2, 2021 Author Share Posted November 2, 2021 Yes, it was Carroll that was listed as natural grass in the book LaVille looked like a mud bath on the sports last Friday night. I am not sure what they can do to make it somewhat decent. There may be some lake effect rain this week. Who knows how much sun plus they are talking about heavy frost a couple of nights this week as well A couple of weeks ago Mishawaka has a large puddle of water on one end of the field, I believe the last week of the regular season. Their field always seems to be pretty worn by this time of year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks there are some socioeconomic issues at play here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
