A/AA West Tennessee 2016

Our field is also the Football Field/stadium and the track and field arena.  Softball has even played on it if their field gets bad.  Madison plays on Lambuth's Football field.  Many high school's share a field with the football team especially the public high schools.  Where does South Gibson play football?

 

And..I would like to add that our "immaculate, turf" field was corporately sponsored by area businesses and I do not think any public school monies were used to purchase it.  YMCA plays youth soccer and youth football on it on Saturdays and we have even rented it to Jackson wolves travel club to play some of their important travel games if Jackson fields are bad.  I have seen all the nice houses built and being built in Medina so I know your tax base should be well on it's way in your ability to afford a better soccer field.

I agree with you.  This field in my opinion shouldn't be allowed to play on.  The power lines are a major disadvantage.  A goalie's kick down the field or even a pass or clear in the air are more than likely gonna touch the power lines at least once a game.  That could be the difference in a goal or not.  Not every school has money for turf fields, but no soccer field should be played on with power lines clearly in the way of play.

 

yep and there are THREE lines so they are hard to avoid...

Trust me the city isn't going to do a thing about the soccer field. Most of the things we have now (catch nets, fences, sound system) are a product of fund raising and some money from the coach's pocket.

 

Sorry if I struck a nerve with my reply, but it upsets me when people critize the field because of all the hardwork our coach puts into making it nice, and the players that put in work to play good games on it and build a soccer culture in Medina. For years I've watched them bust their butts on it and then people discredit evrtything cause they don't like the field. I know that isn't what you were trying to do, so I apologize.

 

No hard feelings. Good luck tonight

sorry to upset you.  It is a nice field and I could tell there has been a lot of work done compared to last year.  Your team has progressed and support will come when the community sees what an asset a good soccer program can be.  I don't mean to be discrediting but the wires are an unfortunate problem.  D-burg used to have a football coach that wouldn't let soccer come within a mile of his precious field and we have had to make use of whatever old field was given to use.  The success of our soccer team and the scholarships our players have earned has help us earn community support and "tolerance" from the hard-core football bunch.

Yeah didn't mean to upset you.  I hope your soccer program continues to improve.  Best of luck to South Gibson!
