BigWinners 1,643 Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 I don't see any way the game is moved unless something crazy happens. The park drains well and unless it's absolutely a disaster, there's no way Union agrees to move the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hhsdevils93 39 Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 High school programs should not be playing on turf anyway. Play on natural surface until college. I prefer natural turf. I get that the upkeep is quick and simple with turf. And many programs have been blessed with it. But seems like it’s making people lose their mind if they have to play a big game on less than turf conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarhead24219 440 Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 The field is fine , better than most fields at the first of the year.

goose111874 967 Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 The field seemed fine to me after the game so I'm not sure why they would even consider moving it. Maybe we can move it up to Appalachia every Union poster on here would love that well maybe not one of us. jarhead24219 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How could the VHSL justify moving the game when they allowed some of the games last week? Unless the park somehow becomes horrendous, on what grounds could they move the game?

Unless the park somehow becomes horrendous, on what grounds could they move the game? I didn't say they had grounds. I have no clue what shape the field is in or will be on Saturday. I was just commenting that I didn't think Union had to agree. Appo and Glenvar was moved. I doubt any field conditions could be worse than what they were at Marion when Graham played them.

Union_Fan 2,154 Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 If I read the VHSL Handbook correctly, it is up to each region to determine alternate sites, before the playoffs even begin, in the event of inclement weather or poor field conditions. It does not say what criteria is used to determine "poor" condition. It would also appear that the VHSL doesn't get involved until the semifinals as there is no mention of field conditions until that section. I guess this leaves the regional committees to sort out any disputes. Based on what I saw of the field after the Battle game, it doesn't remotely come close to arising to the level of "poor". Especially, when comparing to the fields at Burton, Battle or Marion that I saw pictures of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do not know about the other two but the marion game was a regular season game and not a playoff so vhsl would not have a say in moving it i would think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#BBN 128 Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 Graham by 200, according to this thread they might as well not even play the game!!!! Some people make this forum very fun and interesting to read and some make it horrible to read. Union is not the same team as last year and everybody know that, Graham is much improved, gonna be a tough game for the Bears. Good Luck to both teams and I hope both teams play injury free football and whoever wins I'll be pulling for them in weeks to come!!!

I was only comparing field conditions in general to point out that Bullitt isn't even close to being in bad shape. Burtons was a playoff game, and from the article, their coach tried to get it moved to UVA-Wise unsuccessfully. I truly don't think the field will be a factor at all. Didn't see anybody slipslidin' around, and Jenkins(who depends on good footing) was able to hit the corner several times. Something he wasn't able to consistently do against Abingdon or Battle the week before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigtom 42 Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 On 11/11/2018 at 1:59 PM, Guest Graham WVU said: Honestly no. Went to the Abingdon game and RV did not impress me none. that was first game that they have been tested by all season and there next will be this week with richlands, I put those 2 on the same level. Well Ridgeview spanked us twice this year and Honestly Graham hasn't really played anyone with the exception of Bluefield and Richlands though the Richlands game was under different circumstances. Lets see beat a 2-8 Tazwell team, 5-6 Giles team, beat us 44-10, A 1-9 Princeton team, 2-8 Lebanon, 5-6 VA High team, Then Richlands quality win, 5-6 Ft Chiswell, 4-6 Marion 35/60 record so NO YOU ALL HAVENT REALLY PLAYED ANYONE not to down any program listed but just trying to show everyone that they haven't played a strong schedule as Guest Graham WVU would have everyone think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
