Yes it is true.
Why will they be playing it there? It is not like Norton's field is in bad shape or anything. Oh well, I may still have to catch the first half of that game before heading to work.
I don't know, you hear turf is fast, but if you're not used to running on the stuff, then it could hurt your team more than it helps. Having practiced once and played a few flag football games on turf, I'll say that for a lineman, I was really uncomfortable on the turf, my shoes didn't dig in like they should, nor did I get the same jump off the ball. Yes, the guys who are quick will love it, but it's really a different experience for a lineman.
Both teams have proven they deserve to be in the playoffs. They both have very different styles on offense and I am sure both coaches are prepared to meet the other one. It will be up to the players themselves who comes out the winner. Appy has improved every week. They are a team that fights to the very end and I would love to see them come out with the win. I really don't think Norton has got worse over the season, they have only lost one game. Earlier in the season if Norton would of played GC I believe Norton would have won, that is just my opinion. I wish the best to both teams.
Do not know. I still cannot believe that Tom agreed to this. I would think that Appy would have an advantage on a slower track.
I agree it does seem to play to Nortons strenth but so long as the State game is being played on turf I think both teams should jump at the chance to play on that type of surface as much as possable
I'd say since Norton is the #1 seed, they can pick it to be wherever they like. I don't think it's the fact that Burton's field is that bad, I think Jimbo is going to try to get them used to playing on turf, just in case, that way the first time the team is on turf won't be at State.
Yes they played TS, RR, and in the state finals last year on turf. Never know though the dawgs are tough and could do just as well on the turf.
