Just think three years ago Sevier County played football on a field with a crown in the middle so high you could only see the top half of the players from the other side. Never seen anything like it in my life. glad they got that fix with the new field. I took a picture the last time we came to play them before they got the new field.s5z4zk.jpg

Wow....that's a little excessive but I bet it drains well!

While I do think that the visitors side bleachers need some updating and some repairing (I've seen the areas that need to be addressed) I think we have given the perception that they are in such shape that nobody can sit over there, which just isn't the case. I've seen some pretty good crowds sit over there in the past decade with no issues. So opposing teamy fans- just know that it IS still good enough to hold up your big butts so come on by... But I'm not saying it doesn't need some work, it does. My main issue is how they let the stadium look like it does, mainly on the visitors side, when you drive by. Because that stadium has the potential to be a beautiful high school stadium with its size, if only the people that are in control of fixing it were some different names....

I agree with you except the stadium is worse than what you can see. The seams between the sections are deteriorated and water has been getting to the interior. Besides the outside concrete walls which are obviously in bad shape, I have been told that the footers that hold the spans underneath the stadium are in bad shape. The spans are not. So it could get repaired or torn down either way. Unless you actually walk it, then you do not realize the amount of damage. Like you say it is a shame that it has gotten to this point and it needs to be fixed per the recommendations. It has all the potential in the world if done correctly. Edited by GWAVE1

    • Best-of-three sectional series vs East Robertson at home starting Wednesday.  They put us out last year at this point.  Go Pirates!!
    • I don't believe they have anyone that is surbers caliber but a decent staff overall.
    • Richland plays at McKenzie on Wed.  Should be a good series.  Does Richland have good pitching?  
    • Congratulations to the Warrior baseball team winning the Region Championship.  Last night the football team beat Franklin Co 33-0 in their spring scrimmage. Warriors looked very good. Missing a few players who were playing baseball but still absolutely dominated. A lot of young ones got in halfway through the 3rd when the score reached 33-0. QB Tilton Pickett looked very sharp.  Sam Pickett is on another level this season. Seems to have put on 15 to 20 lbs in the off season and added a step as well. Transfer from last year Williamson caught numerous balls and is very elusive. Lots of athletes on this team. Defense was smothering and will only get better. The head coach from Sewanee was in attendance and offered 2 kids after the game. Could be a special year.
