What do you think does it help or hurt your high school team playing in weather and field conditions this year?

In my opinion I think Union has no problem playing in this type of weather... But field conditions can be an issue later in the season!

How does everybody else feel about their High School going in the season?

Our region has seen three consecutive years of record-setting precipitation.  We had roughly 63 inches in 2018, 65 inches in 2019 and 70+ inches in 2020.  Considering we average 43 inches per year, a 50% increase for three consecutive years has left wetter conditions in most areas than anything we have ever seen.  This region has water in places water has never been seen before.  Grass fields are going to be destroyed in very short order.

I think we will see games being played on turf after concessions are made to allow for moving games.  For example, Grayson will play the majority of their season at Galax.

I heard PH and Holston will be playing their games at Emory. I dont know if anyone else can really pull that off. I do feel bad for anybody playing right or center field at Marion this baseball season.. it is going to be a mess.
