No doubt about that. I figured they would know what was coming to town on Friday night. Peabody understands who they're playing as well. Make no mistake about it, the Tide respects the heck outta the Panthers. But I like to say, respect all, fear none. Will the Trenton folk really need boots standing around the field like @vandyfan1 proclaimed?

Boots ?

That's another reason they may not be posting. Their visitor sideline isn't great... yes I've stood in mud to watch a game there. There's no doubt that they know what type facilities the Tide have, and they (like us at Scotts Hill) don't receive funding to match that... that's why the community has been hard at work since knowing that they'll host this game. There's been gravel brought in and other improvements in order to make the visitors more comfortable. They have a nice stadium with plenty of home seating, but that probably won't be an option for y'all… I expect it to be full. Seating is being added behind the end zone and an extra gate for convenience. Maybe when they get the stadium spruced up, they'll have time to post.

Unless they've done major renovations to the stadium in the last few years then yes, you will need boots to even walk to the visitor side & you might want to bring lawn chairs. Best I can remember, the visitor side has 4-5 rows of bleachers. It might hold Peabody's band. Hopefully they plan to bring in more seating. Don't use the address for the high school for directions to the stadium either. The stadium is at Decatur County Middle School with limited parking.

I know that Riverside has very very small seating on the visitors side of the field. I’m sure a lot of people will have to stand & it looks like all grass around the field. No concrete sidewalks, hence the possible need for some boots. Unless you just fancy muddying up some tennis shoes I reckon lol

Awesome effort by those folks for trying to accommodate the Peabody fans. Proud to see when a community like that pulls together for something of this magnitude.

That's great to hear. I know this game is huge for their community,

Parking will be addressed by allowing parking at the baseball and softball fields, with both being lit up.

See page 21 for facility information. I didn't mention the gravel in that post, but several loads have been brought in.

    • We could sure use some math teachers country wide. Ever go into a store or restaurant and the bill comes to $9.97 and you give them a ten dollar bill and 2 pennies because you wanted a nickle back and then the meltdown starts and the next thing two more people have to come and help figure it out and the place comes to a complete halt. I see this everyday and it's a sad representation of all these schools allowing these kids out the door to get shortchanged the rest of their life. 
    • I like the Pirates chances. I’ll be there as soon as work allows.
    • Stars, I heard we were searching far and wide for some math teachers. Any chance their kids bench press or 40 times are getting checked? LOL I’ve heard good things from 825.  
    • I think it was expected. “Bad” luck I guess to get a couple difference maker QBs in the same class. I thought the decision was made a little early myself, but they were struggling offensively last year.  I assume the running quarterback alco had last year would be a senior this fall, and the transfer would start the following two years in addition to getting a ton of playing time this year. Maybe he waits two yrs, but I doubt it. The kid is good. So is the one who stayed.
    • I'm from Cloudland and we've never played a sectional game.  We need to win tomorrow night to avoid that bus ride.  Us and north greene can play with you guys so I'm expecting good games whoever the matchup is.
