Posted by: Moving Playoff FB Games on October 27, 2008 11:13AM EST Please will some on tell the WHSAA to move all games from the Glenrock FB field. The WHSAA says they are all about safety, which led them to move the Moorcroft playoff game to Sundance because the of the field conditions in Moorcroft. Make the Herder's move their game also, because their field in the same condition as Moorcroft's. SO WHSSA what are you going to do? How about the safety and prevention of injuries to the players isn't that what, it is all about?

Posted by: Rangerfan on October 27, 2008 12:09PM EST What conditions exist there? Just asking because I hope the rangers will be making a trip there in a couple of weeks?

Posted by: bigdaddy on October 27, 2008 1:22PM EST I have seen the Glenrock field first hand, it is not that bad, there is a dirt patch on the opposing players side that they till up (so it's not hard) and rake it flat. Sounds like somebody just doesn't want to travel to Glenrock. BTW the WHSAA has checked out the field and must have determined that it's playable.

Posted by: murrykins on October 27, 2008 2:37PM EST I think there is going to be some upsets this week, Rock Springs, Powell, Lovell,and Riverside all have a 50-50 chance of winning on the road. If Rocky Mountains recievers can catch the ball that game might be a scoring party, Burns should not look past them. In 1A Hulett got the best draw, Burlington has been known to have trouble with NSI as does Cokeville with Gurnsey but with some FOCUS all the higher ranked teams should move on. Some kids start thinking HOOPSNRASSLIN this time of year but the team that wants the trophy isn't looking past the first round. Good Luck to you all..

Posted by: football fan on October 27, 2008 8:26PM EST The Glenrock football field is not the prettiest but it is not a safety issue. There have been a lot of games played there this year--varsity, jv and middle school and no one has been injured. If it were a safety issue, we wouldn't let our own kids play there. WHSAA has looked at it and said it was okay.

Posted by: sports fan on October 27, 2008 10:14PM EST Ranger fan the field is extremely bad. I know Glenrock has put money and time into the field but because of the soil conditions nothing will grow. I laugh at the people who are trying to play down how bad the field is by saying its just a dirt patch on the side line. Thats a lie, the whole field is one big dirt patch. There is about a dozen huge areas in which they have brought in a dirt/rock in to fill in the holes. These patches are gigantic areas. Where there is grass it is so sparse you might as well call it dirt. WHSAA should be ashamed of them selves to take away games from one team and then allow Glenrock to have games on their dirt patch. If Glenrock gets any snow or rain then there is going to be real problems. I am just waiting for someone to get hurt on that field (thank god it has not happened yet). Could be a good law suit against Glenrock school allowing games to be played there and also WhSAA who is backing Glenrock.

Posted by: 1afan on October 28, 2008 4:24AM EST I haven't seen the field at Glenrock but it sounds similar to Moorcroft's.In that there's a big grass free zone,about 60 yards long and covering the middle of the field. Footing is bad when it's dry I can't imagine trying to make a sharp cut if it's wet By contrast Sundance has a beautiful field,well groomed with lush thick grassIt was a good discision to move the game there

Posted by: bigDaddy on October 28, 2008 9:12AM EST sports fan: I'm glad I was able to make you laugh. Seriously I have been on the chain gang at the Glenrock field, and we have a difference of opinions, I have walked across that field twice a game for four home games. The Glenrock team has played on other fields that were worse, this year in fact. You are correct there are bald patches in places, but the surface is flat and even and the ground crew does what it can. The "dirt" patch that I refered to is about 30 yards long and 5 yards wide, don't tell me how dangerous the field is, I am there and have seen hundreds of tackles in that area, nobody has even sprained an ankle.

Posted by: The Man on October 28, 2008 9:44AM EST URL: http://yahoo.com BigDaddy: Our team played in Glenrock last year and the field was a mess, i talked to some of your coaches and they even admitted it was just a matter of time before someone got hurt, maybe they have worked on since then but it doesn't sound like it.

Posted by: sports fan on October 28, 2008 10:06AM EST Once again I am not questioning the money or effort Glenrock puts into the field. I even seen Coach Gray out there at half with a fellow patron racking the numerous dirt/rock mix patches, It is flat but the fact of the matter is the majority of the field is a dirt/rock mix. These dirt/rock mixes cover the entire field not just the side lines. I think it is to bad the Alkali has to ruin the football fields grass as Glenrock has the nicest stadium and press box in any class other then the 5A schools. The point of the matter is that the field is such bad shape that there is a need for WHSAA to come down weekly to evaluate it. This should answer your question of how bad of shape the field is in. WHSAA knows and Glenrock knows it is just a matter of time before they can not feel good about playing football on that field. If it was not a safety concern then WHSAA would not be down each week to take a look at the field. I can not believe we are not proactive and we are so reactive. Do we have to wait until someone damages an ankle or blows out a knee before we say "oh I guess it is time to shut down this field till its repaired properly"? If I had a son who had any chance to receive a scholarship in any sport I would hold them out of any games played on that field, that field is an accident waiting to happen. Thank god it has not happened yet and my fingers are crossed it never happens.

Posted by: murrukins on October 28, 2008 12:00PM EST There's an old Chris Ledoux song guys, "there's a five dollar fine for whining," and your making us all look bad. So unless you want of get out your money, knock it off. Heck guys, I've played football in Dubois where the rocks sticking half-way out of the ground were as big as the football, and in Manderson where they didn't have grass so they mowed the weeds down to a two inch stubble. Ten Sleep had gopher holes and Byron had ant piles in the end zones. They use paint for the lines now but when they used that chalk we all had in in our lungs so bad you couldn't breath till monday. Most of the small schools play around the deer poop to this very day. So tell those kids not to worry about the field and go play ball cause the kid that gets that scholorship doesn't care if he's playing on a cement pad just as long as he's playing.

Posted by: sports fan on October 28, 2008 12:51PM EST murrykins read the posts, people wnated to know what condition the field is in. I gave them the information requested. So where do you get whining? Before you start making comparisons visit the Glenrock field and then make comparisons that are even close to the situation as we all know people who had to walk up hill both ways through a snow storm, and thats what it sounds like you are doing. And for your information the first goal of a coach is to keep their kids safe. The days of throwing students out on the field like a peice of meat are over and the safety and health of athletes is a top concern for coaches. So do not justify the poor condition of Glenrocks field by making comparisons to ants and deer poop.

Posted by: bigguns on October 28, 2008 4:00PM EST What about moving the game to NC's field (if NC is not hosting a championship game and both Kemmerer and Glenrock make it that far). It would still pretty much be a home game for Glenrock.

Posted by: gtown on October 28, 2008 4:30PM EST It is a tough situation since Glenrock deserves the home field advantage but if the field is in that poor of condition then maybe it should be moved.

Posted by: 2A on October 28, 2008 4:50PM EST in 2A i think it could be wind river winning it all they have a very tough road to the finals with the 4 seed but, last years state champion Riverside was also a 4 seed, it wont be easy but i could see wind river coming up with a state champion after 3 tough games

Posted by: wyo expert on October 28, 2008 9:45PM EST URL: http://yahoo.com Wind River had better be ready for a hard hitting football game with Lingle. The question will be this; If Wind River is up late in the game, will they continue throwing fade routes? Good way to get yourself in trouble sooner or later.

Posted by: wyo football on October 29, 2008 12:56AM EST Forget the field, play the game. Good luck to all teams.

Posted by: Cowboy Fan on October 29, 2008 8:37AM EST URL: http://yahoo.com I have heard from coaching friends that the field in Glenrock may be worst field they have ever seen. From 25 to 25 they have sand, NO #'s or hashes 9 yards in. Just not a good field. Make them move to Casper. Or maybe having a WHSAA Board Member is the decider.

Posted by: murrykins on October 29, 2008 10:24AM EST I'd say Sports fan has planted his seed well enough already, trying to find a way to cheat Glenrock out of their home field advantage. Did you do that to Moorcroft too? If the Glenrock kids have to move their games and then LOSE!!! I guess we know who to blame don't we. Are you also Cowboy Fan, gtown, and bigguns, you agree so readily, and yes I'm old and also fat, and I thought I'd seen it all, but I hadn't seen someone try to beat down a team before they even got to play their games, on a public forum, just to gain the advantage for their own team. Cheating is cheating, no matter how you do it, and even us old guys can see through your motives.

Posted by: eaglefan on October 29, 2008 10:41AM EST I thought homefield advantage wasn't a big deal. Hasn't everyone been talking about what a great thing it would be if the Championships were in Laramie? I don't think moving the games would be a good thing.

Posted by: sports fan on October 29, 2008 11:13AM EST murrykins, once again read the posts before you start rambeling on. Its always nice when people join a blog where people discuss topics and you have that one person who does not believe in the topic so they start personally attacking people. Here you go once again personally attacking someone who does not need to be attacked. If you were to read the posts you would know Rangerfan asked what condition the field is in?? Because he hopes Kemmerer will be visiting in three weeks, I just gave him his information requested. It is funny you are blaming me because the Glenrock field is in horrible shape? Are you blaming me because they have had years to make improvements and it is still junk? Are you accusing me of some how adding Alkali to the soil? This is nuts and if WHSAA is reading through this blog in determining wither to let Glenrock play on their field, they are as big of fools are you are. I have no say in where a team plays, I have no influence in WHSAA's decisions, All I did was answer a fellow bloggers question on the field quality. You can put me down and blame me for loses, and for cheating, and blame me for the state of the economy and whatever else you dream up but the fact still remains the safety of the athletes is the first and main concerns stated in WHSAA bylaws, not to mention WHSAA supports an equal and level plaing field for all athletes competing in compitition. I understand you played on fields that were in poor condition, but this does not mean everyone should have to play on these fields because you did. And just because you should happen to disagree with your opinion then that makes you a cheater?? Come on murrykins do you honestly believe Glenrock is going to all the sudden turn from a 3A powerhouse to a has been because they are playing 15 miles away in Casper. As I look at their schedule Glenrock was as dominate on the road as they were at home blowing out everyone. So to tell everyone reading this blog that they are going to lose and the handful of us who made comments are cheaters is a joke. I am sure Kemmerer will be willing to play them anywhere for the championship if the seeding plays through, I just hope who ever it is gets to play them in safe setting with an equal and level playing field.

Posted by: go pokes on October 29, 2008 11:17AM EST murrykins, Are you serious?!? You act like this is the first time that the state has considered making a team move their playoff games to another site because of the field. For whatever reason, the Moorcroft game has been moved for field reasons, or so the rumor goes. Southeast had to play all three rounds in Torrington last year, and the field they had to play on in the regular season was twice as good as the one Glenrock currently plays on. I was on both fields last year and on Glenrocks this year. If they make Glenrock play their games in Casper, that would only be fair based on what the state has made other teams do. And if the state lets Glenrock keep their games in Glenrock, a little advice to all the teams they will be playing: Put visors on the helmets of your skill people. When they get tackled, the dirt does kick up into their eyes on a regular basis.

Posted by: sports fan on October 29, 2008 11:23AM EST Murrykins, one last thing. I have been commenting on this topic for less then a week, WHSAA has been visiting that field every week this year. So I beleive WHSAA and Glenrock both know if the conditions get any worse which I do not know how they could except for weather, the games will be moved. This has zero to do with me as WHSAA has been making weekly trips to inspect Glenrocks field long before this week

Posted by: sports fan on October 29, 2008 11:48AM EST go pokes, The Moorcroft- Wright game was moved because of field conditions. Moorcroft has had a terrible time getting grass to grow and keeping the grass alive. The grass finally died and they have a stretch from the goal line to well past the opposing 40 yard line where it is just dirt. So the majority of their field is dirt. WHSAA gave them the choice in where to move their game and they chose Sundance. This will be a great setting for both teams competing.

Posted by: Cory on October 29, 2008 12:43PM EST you guys have completely ruined a good topic with all the bickering back and forth about field conditions. Has anyone asked ANY of the kids that actually play on the fields how they feel. sure they would probably love to have field turf to play on every week, but they adapt. Maybe if it were such a problem, someone would order longer cleats for the players. anyway--we have playoff football starting tomorrow night and the real fun begins...dirt/mud/grass/snow/whatever, let's play some football!!

Posted by: 3a fan on October 29, 2008 1:00PM EST Interesting debate going on here. Lets set a few facts straight here, first all this all could be a mute point if teams don't advance in the playoffs. Mtn. View a few years ago had a great team and lost at home in the first round of the playoffs, Big Piney that year was 4-4 and state champions. Kemmerer in 1998 was also very tough and lost in the first round. Whose to say that Glenrock even makes it past the first round. Now they probably will, but nothing is certain until the game is over. As far as Rangerfan, the same can be said for you too. Kemmerer has a tough game this week Mtn.View. They are much better than their record shows. Then again Rangerfan you would agree with this statement, I'm sure of it. Good luck to all teams maybe we will see a 3A rematch this year.

Posted by: tmillerwyo on October 29, 2008 2:02PM EST Who cares about the field conditions, let's play some FB. My pre-season picks were: 5A-NC, 4A-Buffalo, 3A-Kemmerer, 2A-Burns & 1A-SE. My pre-playoff picks that changed are: 5A-Sheridan & 4A-Cody. Also, some teams who should make the finals are: 5A-Gillette, 4A-Douglas, 3A-Glenrock, 2A-Big Horn & 1A-Burlington.

Posted by: sports fan on October 29, 2008 3:15PM EST Anything can happen in the playoffs but looking at earlier results it looks like Mt. View is going to have to make huge strides as they lost 33 to 0 to Kemmerer. Glenrock beat the snot out of Thermopolis 37 to 7 so the same thing is going to have to apply. I think the two games that are toss ups are Lovell v. Pinedale. These schools had simulaer results against common opponents. The other 3A game of Moorcroft v. Wright should be another overtime affair. My picks Kemmerer and Glenrock win big, Lovell and Wright squeak by.

Posted by: rangerfan on October 29, 2008 3:56PM EST 3a fan, I wholeheartedly agree. I have just never been to glenrock so wondered what "conditions" were there. Boy was that a topic to get going. Do appreciate the info however, just wish people didn't get personally offended. But I understand, I have been in that position a time or two. As for us and Mt. View, we don't have to look to far in the past to see what looking past a team does. In 2006 we beat lyman 35-12 in week 8. The very next week we were beat on our field 14-12 by the same lyman group. They came in with a great game plan and stuck it to us. People and players had been talking about tounge river all week prior to that game. We ended up reading about it in the paper like a lot of other 3A teams. We have a ton of respect for Mt. View anyway, but they are on a 3 game win streak and are a conference rival. Should be a great game. I don't expect to beat them like we did earlier. it will be much closer. if we focus I believe we will win, but it will be a hard fought win over Coach G and his buffaloes. GO RANGERS!! Oh, and i am sure our boys would play in a parking lot if they had to. Just want to get that title!!!

Posted by: SEWAC on October 29, 2008 4:08PM EST When it comes to the playoffs, I'd watch out for the 1A/2A South Eastern Wyoming Athletic Conference teams to do some damage. Each team has at least one very good athlete. Burns is by far the most powerful, winning the conference behind the speedy legs of Deuel Peatsch. Lusk has been fighting the injury bug, as Chad Trautman is suffering from a foot injury. Lingle has a power house running back in Alan Hill, whose speed and desire to hit lifts himself and his team above many opponents. Though 1A Guernsey has struggled, they always have a knack for finding their way to the championship, especially through Cokeville. They have wide receiver Rage Geringer who is troublesome for any defense. And powerhouse Southeast is the favorite to win a championship. They have a fast running back running behind a big, talented lineman in Trevor Ross. Their size in the trenches will bode well for them in the playoffs. Good luck to all SEWAC schools.

Posted by: JS96 on October 29, 2008 4:59PM EST One game at at time Kemmerer, in 1996 and 2006 the Rangers were the state favorites and lost at home. No game especially against a much respected Mtn View team, should be looked past. But remember Glenrock, Defense wins championships, not an Offense that is unstoppable all year. Teams get cocky and sometimes play the playoff games as if they were regualr season games, because if you screw up then you have next week. Defense can gameplan better for a " 1 and done" contest. In Ktown we preach defense as well as a good "O".

Posted by: sports fan on October 29, 2008 8:33PM EST I have to agree that the SEWAC teams are good. I am worried Lusk may not make it out of the first round because they have the tuff assignment of beating Riverside who is always been tuff in the playoffs. I love Burns, they have a physical and athletic "o" line that makes the running game outstanding. Anytime you can keep your opponent off the field by putting up 300 yards a game rushing you have a great chance to win. I do not like LIngles chances though, yes they are better this year but they still have an extremely tuff match up. You forgot to mention Southeast who I think may be the big surprise in 1A football this playoff season

Posted by: tigerfan on October 29, 2008 8:49PM EST well guys we are just a few days from the start of wyoming football playoffs nothing better. well i feel strong about lusk being about to get out of the first round with a win and a revenage over riverside from last year. well good luck to all teams and i hope its exciting

Posted by: gridiron on October 29, 2008 9:32PM EST I agree that all the championship talk about Kemmerer and Glenrock is rediculous. Coach Rogers has told his kids if anyone (including family) even says the word Glenrock, they will run until they can't stand. The only word (or two) they better be saying is Mountain View. Please stop disrespecting the other 3A teams. The game is played on the field, not in the Goulash.

Posted by: bearcat mom on October 29, 2008 11:19PM EST I will tell you that one of our starter got his knee tore up in Glenrock and is out for the rest of the season. The field is terrible and this is not the first year that it has been that way. I hope that someone takes note and no one else gets hurt. Good luck everyone in the next couple of weeks.

Posted by: football fan on October 29, 2008 11:39PM EST The brains of Converse County schools must be in Douglas, because they had a very nice grass field and then put together funding for turf. Glenrock has a the worst field in the state and they aren't smart enough to do anything about it. But, i guess after you talk to administration at both schools you will understand. Everybody needs to call WHSAA and demand that they move the games!!

Posted by: Cory on October 30, 2008 12:48AM EST I havent seen Cokeville or Burlington play this year but would put my bets on Southeast winning again in 1A. i just dont beleive the west teams have the depth SE does. in 2A the top 4 teams have been there all season, now its a matter of getting to each other. Lusk has a tough game against the defending champs from Riverside, while Buns and Big Horn can't overlook their visitors. If Lingle can defend the pass then they could pull an upset over Wind River. Go Tigers!

Posted by: Kene on October 30, 2008 9:03AM EST Matt Craft from Riverside isa very good player, good enough to play QB for a good NAIA or D2 team I would say, but I don't think he can do it alone. He just doesn't have any Toby Woods this year on his line so I guess I'll have to go with Lusk to win. Lingle better be pretty darn good if they are going to stop Wind Rivers passing. Those Pavillion kids hit hard on defense too. As for Cokeville and Burlington, I would call them both salty, meaning rough and tumble, Burlingtons linemen have all been starters since they were freshmen, well they're not freshmen anymore. I expect big things from that bunch, and if depth comes from getting to play then Burlingtons got some, they're second team spent a lot of time on the field this year. Don't anyone overlook Hulett cause that's a team thats improved with each week, I expect them to make another trip to the Big Horn Basin next week and just the drive will make you grouchy. I hope to see Cody and Powell go at it in the playoffs, thats a fun game even when thwere isn't a prize at the end. Cody spent so much time as the 5A doormat it's good to see them have some success and my sons favorite coach was Jim Stringer so we all wish him and his team all the best. I still like Lovell to pull an upset or maybe even two altho that Thermop thing surprised me and I like Rock Springs as well, at least through the first round. Well, wish you all luck, see ya next week.

Posted by: Hitman on October 30, 2008 10:01AM EST URL: http://yahoo.com rangerfan... you guys seem to have a lot of respect for mtn view, i have watched a few of their games the last few years, i don't know if people around the state really know how good of a job their staff has done with the type of players they have had the last few years, coach G is one of the best motivators that I have seen

Posted by: rangerfan on October 30, 2008 10:41AM EST Hitman, No doubt about it. Mt. View through the past 20 years is probably the most consistent programs in the state. Other teams will rise and fall, win a title and the next year get blown out in the first round, but Mt. View is consistently competing for the hardware. They may not win it every year but they are always right there. They do have a few down turns in that time, but I would bet not near as many as most other teams in 3A. And you are right, it doesn't matter whether they have 15 good athletes or 3, Coach G is going to have them ready. I don't care what there record is (including this year) They are one of the most physical 3a teams in the state--bar none. Looking forward to a great game in the PIT!! GO RANGERS!!

Posted by: Barrel Man on October 30, 2008 11:14AM EST Hey Football Fan, Didn't the state (SFC) pay for Douglas to upgrade their facilities? I wouldn't be calling Douglas the brains of any operation. Just remember it is turning into Campbell Counties South Campus

Posted by: Teton on October 30, 2008 11:18AM EST Glenrock and Douglas aren't even in the same school district CCSD#1 and CCSD#2

Posted by: football fan on October 30, 2008 1:54PM EST Barrel Man, point i was making is that Douglas asked for funding and got it and Glenrock still has their head in the sand. Upgrading facilities all starts with administration requests. So by comparing facilities, i would have to say Douglas has a leg up on Glenrock.

Posted by: Old Outlaw on October 30, 2008 6:11PM EST Can anyone enlighten me on the power ratings? I've watched WHSAA power ratings all year and am mystified that Kemmerer has such a low power rating. Could only figure that the game with Rich County Utah didn't count in the rating. Rich County in my opinion was one of the better teams they played all season. Concerning the field conditions, the safety of the kids is concern #1 and everything else means nothing including scores, wins, hardware, or scholarships. I've never seen any of the fields discussed but suspect that WHSAA is on top of the situation and wouldn't put the kids at risk. I love football and am a Rawlins Outlaw fan but let's keep the safety, education, and character of our kids our top priorities.

Posted by: rangerfan on October 30, 2008 10:12PM EST Old Outlaw, You are right. As far as I know the rich game didn't factor in to the rangers' schedule. Also it didn't help that the 3A west had such a poor start to the season. Pinedale and Mt. View got rolling after a few weeks though. You are right about rich. Good team with a great quarterback. GO RANGERS!!!

Posted by: Patrick Schmiedt on October 30, 2008 11:20PM EST Old Outlaw, here's why Kemmerer's PR was so bad: They only played one team with a winning record, 5-3 Pinedale. The rest of the schedule, with records in PR-rated games, was Rich County, Utah (4-4), Mountain View (3-5), Riverside (4-4), Lyman (0-8), Big Piney (1-7), Thermopolis (2-6) and Jackson (2-6). That's a combined 21-43, a .328 winning percentage. Since opponent's winning percentage plays such a big factor in the power rating, that's why Kemmerer's PR is so low when you compare it to all the other undefeated teams in the state. (Of course, opponent's winning percentage has little to do with the fact that Kemmerer is 8-0. I think the Rangers could have taken any 3A team's schedule and done the same thing.) Upton was the only team that had a lower opponent's winning percentage than Kemmerer. Upton's opponents were 14-38 this season (.269 winning percentage), which is why they had to fight and scratch and claw their way into the 1A playoffs even though they had three victories. Obviously, it works the other way too. If you're playing a bunch of 8-0, 7-1 or 6-2 teams, your power rating will be sky high. That's why you see it pretty often where a 3-5 team will be ahead of a 4-4 team in the power rankings. Hope that helps explain some of the PR mystery. The math will get much simpler next year. :) --patrick

Posted by: justsaynotopowerratings on October 31, 2008 10:26AM EST And that is why using a power rating system is a joke. They don't factor in a team like Rich County that would manhandle every 3a team in the state except Kemmerer and POSSIBLY Glenrock but teams that play teams with a bunch of wins against week opponents have great strength of schedule points. If you have to use a silly system like this shouldn't you reward a team like Gillette that plays a Skyview, Utah team that would steamroll any team in Wyoming. Doesn't make sense to me.....and I know, I know it was a 0 week game and didn't count, just an example.

Posted by: rangerfan on October 31, 2008 10:29AM EST Patrick, So are you saying that the rich game is factored in? I had heard that out of state opponents weren't. Probably just hearsay though. Anyway, thanks for clearing that up.

Posted by: Patrick Schmiedt on October 31, 2008 11:46AM EST rangerfan, The Rich game was definitely part of the power ranking for Kemmerer this year. The only games that don't count are Zero Week games and sub-varsity games (i.e. Cokeville against the Evanston JV doesn't count). It's probably more confusion than it's worth and I'm kind of glad to see it gone. --patrick

Posted by: rangerfan on October 31, 2008 11:17PM EST Wow what a game in the pit today. I knew Mt. View was coming out swinging but 14-12 at half had me on the edge of my seat. Glad to see the boys took a little gut check and came out and capitalized on some buff turnovers. pretty sloppy game for both teams i think. kemmerer had 4 or 5 turnovers and mt. view ended up with 5 or 6. Hopefully we got that out of our system. Looks like we have a good Moorecroft team coming to town next week. Bad news is we lost a starting lineman to a broken ankle. But it is part of the game. Hope the coaches get the sub up to speed quick. GO RANGERS!!

Posted by: bearcat mom on November 1, 2008 12:39AM EST Barrel Man, Douglas has a nice field and we are not nothing like Campbell County. Get off your high horse.

Posted by: football fan on November 1, 2008 5:42PM EST Last I heard the school facility commission does not pay for football fields. That has to come out of a school districts budget. Why in the world should a school spend close to a million bucks to benefit the 30 or 40 kids on a football team when that money could go to the education of a lot of students. Maybe the Glenrock admin knows what is more important. This is high school football not the pros.

I just hope that Glenrock gets there field fixed before someone gets hurt. I heard that it is there dirt or something.
