J South Side at Lipscomb

[wad]

Just an FYI: Lipscomb does not have lights on the high school field because the surrounding neighborhood will not approve their usage in the residential neighborhood. They allow the football field because it is only 5 nights a year basically. The athletic complex is not on the actual campus.

 

Their are multiple examples of this happening in Nashville alone. Father Ryan has only recently gotten approval for their football stadium to be on campus because the neighborhood fought like crazy against it. It happens to be about 2 miles from Lipscomb. DCA did not have lights until a few years ago after trying to get them approved since the 80's. These are private schools that are not on governement owned land so they have to adhere to the zoning already in place or appeal. Lipscomb and Ryan just happen to be in a very high rent area where the residents can afford to fight it.

 

I actually coach against Lipscomb and would love nothing more than to be able to beat them in baseball (beating them in basketball this year was especially nice), but to get on here and say things that you know nothing about is silly. They have an excellent team with 10 seniors. They were state-runner up last year for a reason. They play on a field with no lights for a reason. Good luck next season. Move on.

 

 

I know where Lip. is and the respect they get. I also know about the lights and why they do not have them. This started a few post up, when Thesolution said South Side/Lexington should plan their graduation around the region baseball game. This rubbed me wrong and I spoke my mind. South Side would no more do that. Then Lip would skip bacculauate to put up Lights. lol Im just not going to take what they said lying down.

I agree with Solution...school administrators should either respect the TSSAA calendar and not schedule graduation ceremonies on that Friday or change the TSSAA calendar...the TSSAA is run by school administrators for heavens sake!. Kids shouldnt be put in the situation that they have to miss one event or the other.

 

The issue with lights at Lipscomb isnt an issue. J SouthSide was leaving last Friday if the game didnt start at 2pm regardless if Lipscomb had lights or not.
