Field conditions at CPA last night

[nrgrizzlies]

I saw on the highlights that the middle of the field wasn't fit for a mud wrestling contest.  Why was this game not moved?  The new Nolensville High has an artificial turf field.  There had to be somewhere with a less disastrous field condition to play this game.  It's time for the TSSAA to step up and get involved with late season playoffs field conditions decisions and have contingency plans ready to move a game as needed.

I was there, and it was a slop fest. Every time Gray tried to make a cut, he went down. The mud made more tackles than CPA

Sure am glad it was a home game! CPA got to play on all the dry spots...….

GO JACKETS!

I think its no secret that teams will sometime wet the field just to slow down a team that is more athletic or faster than them.

The field at Overton was awful too for the Beech/Hillsboro game. Plus the play clocks weren’t operating. Teams deserve better than this when they make it to the quarter finals.

Exactly right.  Teams deserve better when in the playoffs especially.  Like having adequate facilities for opposing teams fans so they are not sitting on 3 foot high soccer bleachers that are about to tip over. Or fans milling about among the players because there is no room to stand or sit.  Or maybe the opposing teams cheerleaders placed off in the endzone away from everyone.  Or maybe even the refs doing a bit of home cooking.  Yep, Karma definitely paid a visit.

What game was that?

[chainsaw2]

Lausanne' field- terrible. That's the argument against CPA's field is it places the visiting team at a huge disadvantage which is 100% correct. however Lausanne's does the same except in different ways. IMO home cookin for both it's just Lausanne was on the short in of the stick for once

Yeah... It affected the Spread team a lot worse than the team that ran out of the I. You beat us bud, but by no means did the weather effect you more than it did H2O..

 

You are delusional if you think anything different. We already seen what happened on the dry field!!!  Just in case you forgot: YOU LOST!

Lots of rain in the state tonight, which team(s) should give up their home fields tonight?

when the field is wet because of natural reasons thats fine, wetting the field because a team may be better than you is not fine.
