There is NO reason for that field to be that bad.  Schools are given the funds to properly maintain it.

I 'suspect' it was let go that bad to justify a plea for turf.  If any school gets it, Oakland will probably be the first.  Unfortunately they have to open the NEW Rockvale high school and set aside the funds for the NEXT one in the planning stages.  Yes folks one new 6A school opening next year and another being planned.

I’ve always thought that high school linemen should be on the wrasslin team ... it’s great for endurance and learning leverage. Coach em up Good !! 

The only problem would be there is only be one starter per weight class. Practice can only get you so far, the most growth comes from live action against other kids not in your practice room. Very rarely do HS teams have multiple guys able to start at Heavyweight.

As far as the other weight classes, there's 220 and the 195 pound class below that. Occasionally you have a Clay Strawn (former starting lineman) who would cut 20 pounds or so down to 195 pound class for wrestling season. It would be great if all of our linemen were above 220, but we've always done more with less in terms of O line size and I'd take 5 Clay Strawns on the line every day of the week.
