I am not sure that any high school stadium is a tough environment to play football.  The most difficult thing about playing on the road for college & NFL teams is the noise level and being able to communicate.  I have never been to a high school game where the noise level was loud enough that the players could not communicate.  IMO, the most difficult thing about playing on the road in high school is that most of the "football only" players do not travel enough to know how to travel, sleep in a hotel, eat on the road, etc...and then play their best game.  Kids that play for the elite basketball & baseball summer league teams do this every weekend so they are professionals at traveling and playing a game.

I'll chime in with a W.TN nominee.. our "hogpen" at Dresden is a renowned place to play.. when the wind is right, mmmm what a smell, that hog farm nextdoor is a real memory maker for sure! Gets in your nose & clothes to stay with you all way home! Ha! The school has that farm program, uses animals it raises to feed our Lions! :) plus.. our fans are some of loudest, noisiest, most rukus you'll ever hear out of a 1A school. Horns, cowbells, noisemakers, stomping, chanting.. oh yeah! LUV our 12th man!

Wayne county. Black uni's, half the lights work, they run the veer and the ball is wet. With all that going on its a crap shoot as to who is carrying the football. Just tackle everybody so you make sure you have the right one. I remember my fresman year they had 38 seniors on the team

    • When she starts farting around with the football team the powers in Maryville will run her out of town on a rail and everyone connected with letting her in the door. You saw what happened when Alcoa's radio announcer thought he was coming to Maryville, the people rose up and stopped it.
    • 20 but had 5-6 not dressed every game. It went down towards the end due to injuries and obviously only 15 got to dress for the state tournament. Then, they only lost 2 from this year and gain 8 from the middle school for next year
    • As somebody mentioned before, this is going to result in a massive lawsuit, can you imagine professional "educators" actually having the conversation about getting "the bad kids" out of the high school?  And the head coach asking directly to change grades, gets turned down, comes back again and gets it approved?  This is unbelievable.  In addition to the lawsuit, the state Department of Education is going to come down extremely hard on this.  WYSH is on the war path.  There could be dozens more lose their jobs by the time this is over.  And yeah the real shame is the kids being affected that literally had nothing to do with this and actually worked hard to earn their grades.    
    • I've heard Powell from someone who talked to him. I saw the kid two days ago and I should of pulled over and talked with him and wished him well where ever he goes. It will be a ale of a loss for us because I don't believe we have anyone in the stable good as him from what I seen in the spring.
    • I would have to think that the firing of the 2 teachers is just the beginning of future moves.  If not, it is woefully short.  If the AC school board thinks that the damage is just limited to Clinton, they are sadly mistaken.  Any outsider would view the whole school system as suspect, and rightly so.
