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.

    • Perhaps the best RB in Tampa Bay iin 2023 saw his program close, and is looking for a home. If he stays in the area,Venice is a good bet. (Lakeland may be as well).
    • And if that same newsletter asked the Osceola County Sheriff Department, what do you think the response would be? If you asked, members of the Chamber of Commerce? (Essentially a union of businesses) If you asked a group of nurses? If you asked a group of lawyers? Also a union cares about the working conditions of their members, but the working conditions of teachers are the learning conditions of students as well. People are attracted to careers because of the values that come with those careers. Political Parties attract people based on their values. So it shouldn't be surprising that certain professions attract certain people in certain careers. You act as if the principal's first question when we have a 5,000+ teachers shortage in this state is "who do you vote for? And are you a member of the union?"
    • I feel like y'all are always solid so I don't see y'all going no worse than 7-3. Biggest question mark for Cocoa is their O-line since they are only returning 1 and on the defensive side they only return their blue chip edge in their front 7 
    • Coach Wiseman, let me just preface this by saying that you were the best HC Sarasota's program has had in the last 20+ years. You brought them from being a perpetual losing program to the doorstep of competing with Venice for a district title and a deep playoff run. SHS will curse the day they fired you now that they are back in a rut. You are a true class act, and nothing will ever convince me otherwise.  Our backfield is certainly sparse right now. We do have Dorian Jones, a rising sophomore runningback whom did considerably well considering his limited playing time last season. Our offense will need an overhaul with the graduation of 3 offensive linemen and almost our entire receiving corps. Our defensive line will be strong with the return of Ke'shawn Vaughn, Elijah Jones, and Asharri Charles. Our linebacking corps graduates virtually everybody but should have at least one bright spot with the return of Ben Zarkawiecz. Our defensive backfield is still a work in progress with the graduation of Lester and Platt. At the moment, we have more question marks than exclamation points. And that's not a good feeling with the kind of competition Venice is going to face. 
    • It's possible that they find their stride by week 5, but at the moment we just don't have the on-paper talent to compete with teams like Miami NW, IMG National, Cocoa, or Bishop Verot. If Venice can find a way to go 7-3 with that schedule I would be happy
