Home field is not much of an advantage in baseball. Sounds like sour grapes. Since that is the first State championship for Rutherford Co. in 14 years I would say it has not had much of an impact. Congrats to Coach Reavis and Siegel.

Congrats to seagull. Only kidding about the *. But you must have never been to fairgut for a meaningful/elimination game if you don't think home field is an advantage.

Have not but bet they would be just as vocal at Siegel if they were playing them.

I think it is sad that we have to play our state tournament on high school fields, period. If they decided to play the Blue Cross Bowl at Cookville High School, or play the basketball tournament at Smyrna High School, there would probably be riots and public outrage. But it is perfectly fine for baseball. Ridiculous. I remember when it was in Memphis, one A bracket was played at Bolton High School. That place was a dump.

 

Boys basketball?  As if Smyrna's boys basketball was ever going to make it out of the district... much less make the state tourney? LOL!

..... And? I fail to see how that has one iota to do with what I said.

Those high school fields are nicer than any fields that you will find anywhere. Those schools, and the city of Murfreesboro as a whole, do a great job with the Spring Fling. Rutherford County high schools have great facilities and when you team them up with the city facilities and MTSU, you have a great venue for the Spring Fling.

 

I seriously doubt that playing at home made much difference for either Siegel or Arlington. Two great teams and great programs.

Yes, they are wonderful facilities. Never said they weren't. But try to have the Blue Cross bowl or the Basketball State Tournament at a wonderful high school facility. It would NEVER happen. Ever.

 

Move it to Nashville. Play at Vandy, Lipscomb, Belmont (Rose Park), and Trevecca Nazarene. Play the Championship game at First Tennessee Park. I'm tired of baseball being treated like a red headed step child by the TSSAA.

Spring Fling requires far more fields and Rutherford County won the bid, not Davidson County ;)

Lavergne High School is not a good site.  Seating for fans is inadequate.  The men's restrooms were porta-pots.  Ridiculous.

      $750,000 Lawsuit Files Against Warren County School District

      By BDURHAM · Posted

      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.

      What is the hold up here? I have not heard anything in weeks. Are they waiting for the right person or is something else going on?

      Per usual, we'll be hard to beat in the regular season, I'm sure. It's the post season that I'm more worried about, specifically the coaches. Maybe they'll be able to make some adjustments that will keep the momentum in our favor. How's Grays recovery coming along?

      Something don’t add up here a college coach is not going to turn away a good player they need just because they didn’t get along with their high school coach

      RR, you might remember. Didn’t someone hide the kicking shoe that game? It seems I remember we had missed a kick the week before, and we needed all the points we could get. We thought we had a better chance going for two, so $?&@$ hid the shoe after the first miss that game. No one on our sideline looked for it very hard.
