Melrose home field throughout playoffs.

[jshanes]

Looks like Melrose has home field throughout the playoffs if I am reading the bracket right. That could be an incredible advantage as I have heard that Orange Mound is an intimidating place to play.

yeah we go there friday to play..and all we have heard is bad things about that place

good luck from alamo, tennessee, you must be from dyersburg.

please post and tell us how hospitable the crowd was.

I go to school with this kid from Mem east and he said that Orange mound is the most intimidating place. He talks about ducking from rocks and bottles and a field that leaves you all cut up from dead grass and rocks. They also have a good team so if you are Orange Mound bound you better get ready.

Lets just put it this way....it will be a night you will never forget....regardless of the outcome of the game. But you get to hear great entertainment....because the band rarely stops playing...even when the ball is in play.

 

 

Just One Man's Opinion

yeah we might need a little luck friday cause they are tough

i just hope that the playing conditions aren't that bad

[BigSneaky]

Place is crazy...from the crackheads watching the game from outside the fence on park...or the what i swear is assfault in the field in some places. It is one of the more unique places to play a high school football game.

i think with the problems melrose has had i am suprised the tssaa would give them home field throughout the playoffs. i know it is predetermined but their was definitely wrongdoing by their head coach. the road attendance will definitely suffer. i see melrose going straight to murfeesboro. i think you have to add +10 for the homefield advantage.

Former head coach. Things done by Tim Thompson, former head coach. Now things seem to be back in order and very disciplined under 1st year coach Kenny Ingram. Great job over there. Yes, I see them making noise all the way to state.

You people are discriminating against the Melrose football team, because of the community that they live in. I'm sure that they didn't choose to be in that type of enviroment. They've played good football all year and beat some quality teams. They deserve to have homefield advantage.

I remember their crowd and their bull$%#* chant a few years ago when they didn't agree with a ref's call in in the '97 finals. Don't blame this on the environment, people make and can change the envrionment.

They are cocky but no team is unbeatable we proved that in 97. I know that is in the past, but once you step across the lines it's anybodies ballgame. I believe the record is O right now. Good Luck to both teams.
