Was told it was because the board hadn't approved temp bleachers yet. Temps won't be sitting where the old bleachers were. Curious what others (HHS, Portland) are doing about temp bleachers so far. Beech's were on the ground but was told the board made them load them back up and take them back.

Temp bleachers were being unloaded off trucks at Shackle Island Stadium when a school board member stepped in and said they hadn't been approved. Bleachers were loaded up and taken away. Not sure if or when Beech will get temporary bleachers for games this year.

White House

Beech’s home bleachers condemned.

Spot on.

Sorry if it came across as a jab. If it was a jab it was intended for Sumner Co Bd of Ed. (Which I think eers understood perfectly). I’m proud of the tradition of excellence of all of Sumner county football and hope we can all upgrade our facilities soon.

See “if they aren’t already”.

And it doesn’t take me long to remember why I never comment on here anymore. You are so quick to get your green panties in a wad. I was simply quoting what two big green wave fans response was to me today when we discussed this. This is more than a Beech issue. It’s a SUMMER COUNTY ISSUE. I think it’s a shame that every stadium in the county (except LC obviously) isn’t in better shape. All our players coaches and fans deserve better, especially when the county can spend multiple millions on one particular stadium. My point is we should all be concerned about the safety of our stadiums. Kudos to Gallatin for getting the visitors side updated. The county should have replaced both sides. We should feel blessed that this didn’t happen Friday night and hopefully the county responds.

This should be a wake up call to every county in the state if they aren’t already to inspect all stadiums regularly.

Based on what I’ve heard from multiple Gallatin fans today, wave yard home bleachers will be the next to collapse.

Beech may have to go out of state to find opponents next year. No Wilson county school will play them. One RuCo team has committed, another committed then reneged. Gallatin won’t play them. Hats off to Station Camp for committing to a home and home. Now would be the time to schedule them as they should be “down” next year. Only returning about 4 starters.

The reason this was not mentioned is that we don’t like to make excuses. Beech lost, learned from it and moved on. I too hope it’s an entertaining game. Beech will have its hands full on Saturday.

Not as close as the score would indicate. This was never a game.

A blowout either way wouldn’t surprise me. HHS appears to be rebuilding and have a great coaching staff to do it. I believe they will be better than Gallatin by year end. Not sure they are now.

Nice win for the Bucs. Clearly the better team last night. I like the trajectory of this team. Beech controlled both lines of scrimmage most of the night. Gonna be a fun group to watch as the year goes on.
