No, I don’t think the school board puts up this money.  It is not in the budget.  Plus the school board would feel obligated to do the same for every school which would never happen.  This has to be a

At the $750000 cost, probably not gonna happen at Gallatin anytime soon.  Too many other stadium problems to get solved first.

You obviously don't have a clue what you are talking about. Many more injuries on turf. Fact. Turf is not as kind to you during a hard fall. Fact. It has to be replaced every few years, which costs H*

For what it’s worth, Sumner Co has not paid for any athletic field at Beech.  Nor has it paid a penny for Beech’s field house.  It also didn’t pay for Beech’s track.....oops, forgot, they don’t have a track.  Every field, football included, is there because of the fund raising and hard work of parents and faculty at Beech.  I’m in favor of turf at Beech.  Not sure it will ever happen.

No.  School systems are moving to turf for PR purposes as well as safety issues.  With a turf field, schools can work year round with their teams.  Junior Pro programs can also use it as a money driven attraction.  Makes since on a lot of fronts.

Schools are moving to turf fields due to MULTIPLE school teams playing on the football field.  At some schools you have varsity football, JV football, 9th grade football, middle school football, varsity men's soccer, jv men's soccer, varsity women's soccer, jv women's soccer, varsity men's lacrosse, jv men's lacrosse, varsity women's lacrosse and jv women's lacrosse.  That many teams using a field even just for games will wear out a field.

Congrats on your recent success 27 years ago.

The last time Gallatin Football was relevant (1992):

  • The Top Song was I Will Always Love You by Whitney Houston
  • Bill Clinton was named Man of the Year
  • The Dream Team dominated in the Olympics
  • MTV actually played music
  • The first text message was sent from a PC

Lmao...aw man and I just moved to the area.

      Problem with DB football goes beyond coaching. Like Waco said. Thr band is the main focus of their community and school. They have the resources to be a championship level team. Guarantee Ballard or Witten could have them nationally relevant at some point but everyone down to peewee would have to buy in and at DB we all know that would never happen.

      I know the RB from OR he’s fast and has good hands. Is good on special teams also. Didn’t want to play defense over to the Ridge.

      Clinton Problems

      By SheriffofRedRock · Posted

      5star put out and article about the QB competition for Clinton like they have 9 other schools. They listed a QB that was previously on Powell’s roster last year. He was the Frosh that could throw great wearing number 5. He was not mentioned as a transfer.  HC was quoted in getting two running back transfers one being from OR that has been mentioned on these boards as well as another from TKA.  I had heard about these and more transfers. It is impressive that Clinton is able to steal away from the recruiter at Powell.  I wonder if the issue with the principal will change that or open the gates even more.
