They travel to Blountstown this week so they won't be able to soak the field.  Blountstown better watch the field at night or Brunson might sneak in and turn on the sprinklers all night.  Blountstown should win big but won't matter.  Winner loses to Madison the next week and we get to hear Jesse tell us how great they are.

Even the opposing team's bands don't get a break.  Bakes shows no mercy.

Everyone has to play in the same conditions. When it rains, the losing team isn’t the only one who got wet. 

If this allowed then this is a non issue 

Nolebull, you're smarter than this.  If you have a team that is big, but relatively slow compared to your competition, and your opponent is faster and shiftier, a wet muddy field would go a long way towards leveling the playing field (or even tilting the field in favor of the home team).   It's like baseball team field crews over-watering the infield to try to slow down a team that likes to steal a lot. 

Getting the field in shape for a game is one thing.  Artificially creating a potentially hazardous playing field in hopes of giving your team a competitive advantage is borderline cheating.

Nothing borderline about it, it's cheating and the FHSAA should do something about it. Move the game to a location that is acceptable.

Can someone post the link to the rule that prohibits this? 

 

Start with these two from the FHSAA Football Manual:

7.1.1 Sportsmanship Requirement. Players, coaches, administrators, spectators, contest officials and all other persons connected directly or indirectly with a member school shall practice and promote the highest standards of sportsmanship and ethics before, during and after any interscholastic event.

10.6.1 Neutrality. It is the responsibility of the host school to ensure that an atmosphere of neutrality is maintained in all Florida High School State Championship Series events. Such events are not “home contests” for the host schools. Special festivities held as part of, or in conjunction with, regular season home contests (i.e., pregame activities designed to rally support for the home team, such as light shows, or giving special recognition to members of the home team) are not permitted during the Florida High School State Championship Series.

 

Or perhaps this catch-all rule from the NFHS rulebook:

SECTION 9 UNFAIR ACTS

ART. 1 . . .A player or nonplayer or person(s) not subject to the rules shall not hinder play by an unfair act which has no specific rule coverage.

    • This will be an interesting story to follow.  Venice has no proven RB headed in to spring which will be a first for a long time.  They have produced several Dairy Farmers player of the years in that position.  They also will have a massive offensive line with 2 three year starters who return as well as some stud young kids.  They will probably average around 6'4 295 on the line which is huge for Venice standards.  I just wonder if this will change before the start of the season.  I still fell like someone will show up.
    • Are you still talking to me??  Thought I was pretty clear for you not to waste your breath on this subject matter, but somehow you are missing the point.  Teacher unions have limited power in FL because the candidates they overwhelming support keep losing.  If they had won, the teacher union vote had a lot to do with it and would be wielding that power.  Osceola county which isn't a GOP stronghold during the past two national elections had the journalism students for the OHS monthly newsletter (Kowboy Jake) interview the faculty as to their political leanings.  A sample of about 30 teachers that were interviewed were voting as follows:  25 D vs 5 R.  Enough said.  
    • You missed the point of my union post. Teacher unions in strong union states have power. Florida unions have zero. They cant strike and the school board can implement a contract without the unions approval. Florida unions are not preventing any raise in Florida. The state has attacked a straw man here. 
    • As a general rule, I am not a big supporter of unions in the public sector in particular.  They certainly had a place in the private sector during the industrialization of our nation, but today not so much.  I have no first-hand experience with unions representing our local law enforcement or firefighters but my interaction with the teachers union over several years in that profession is the basis of my opinion.
