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

    • Did this happen? Does anyone know? Ripley has their HC job posted on the bulletin board over the weekend.
    • Coalfield definitely isn't the same team they've had the past few years. They are still the favorites to make it out of their region because of their pitching. They have 1 arm that sits low to mid 80s and 2 other arms that are mid to high 70s with good off speed stuff. If you can avoid their top 3 bats in their lineup then you have a shot to beat them. Their 4-9 hitters are average at best. Wartburg's ace was able to shut them down last week in the game Wartburg won 4-2. 
    • It is the longest season. Plus, 30 games a year. No Christmas break. I would say basketball is the most time consuming. 
    • No movement on Chester? South Gibson? Gibson County?
    • Winfree's senior year was the season she needed to secure more college interest. That opportunity was taken away from her. A lot of false assumptions can be made about what happened and what the options are. Unfortunately, the former coach and administration did not allow Winfree to have due process. A lawsuit was filed for a reason, and it will run its course by people who conduct discovery and take depositions. Unless the parties settle out of court, a lot of the pertinent issues will come to the public surface. I wrote about many of the issues here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/11/17/grounds-for-investigation-and-suspension/ I interviewed Winfree after she was dismissed from the team and wrote about it here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/12/01/a-new-interview-with-sable-winfree/ Winfree had been on teams in Warren County since the fourth grade and never been dismissed from a team. The real questions are why was Winfree dismissed from the team, and why the administration backed a coach whom they did not rehire.
