Home field is not much of an advantage in baseball. Sounds like sour grapes. Since that is the first State championship for Rutherford Co. in 14 years I would say it has not had much of an impact. Congrats to Coach Reavis and Siegel.

Congrats to seagull. Only kidding about the *. But you must have never been to fairgut for a meaningful/elimination game if you don't think home field is an advantage.

Have not but bet they would be just as vocal at Siegel if they were playing them.

I think it is sad that we have to play our state tournament on high school fields, period. If they decided to play the Blue Cross Bowl at Cookville High School, or play the basketball tournament at Smyrna High School, there would probably be riots and public outrage. But it is perfectly fine for baseball. Ridiculous. I remember when it was in Memphis, one A bracket was played at Bolton High School. That place was a dump.

 

Boys basketball?  As if Smyrna's boys basketball was ever going to make it out of the district... much less make the state tourney? LOL!

..... And? I fail to see how that has one iota to do with what I said.

Those high school fields are nicer than any fields that you will find anywhere. Those schools, and the city of Murfreesboro as a whole, do a great job with the Spring Fling. Rutherford County high schools have great facilities and when you team them up with the city facilities and MTSU, you have a great venue for the Spring Fling.

 

I seriously doubt that playing at home made much difference for either Siegel or Arlington. Two great teams and great programs.

Yes, they are wonderful facilities. Never said they weren't. But try to have the Blue Cross bowl or the Basketball State Tournament at a wonderful high school facility. It would NEVER happen. Ever.

 

Move it to Nashville. Play at Vandy, Lipscomb, Belmont (Rose Park), and Trevecca Nazarene. Play the Championship game at First Tennessee Park. I'm tired of baseball being treated like a red headed step child by the TSSAA.

Spring Fling requires far more fields and Rutherford County won the bid, not Davidson County ;)

Lavergne High School is not a good site.  Seating for fans is inadequate.  The men's restrooms were porta-pots.  Ridiculous.

    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say .. 
    • I have a sophomore that can do 177 (preferred) or 192. Sent you an email.
    • speaking of board members how can a man get arrested 12 days ago and still be head coaching a team in TC school system? looks like your right about the tc board members. I bet it would be different if they had a kid on the team
