I understand that, but the risk of injury is so great on turf compared to grass. Turf is a danger at all levels.

 

Hartfield's QB tore his ACL in the all star game on turf. His exact words, "I hate turf, I wish we could play on grass"

Tripp Maxwell tore his acl?

Still inherently safer because of feet not sticking in the turf etc. If the field is that bad, that's on the district and to a lesser extent the coaches.

The reality is this is high school football and not every school has the means to keep a grass football field in pristine condition.  I realize grass is the better playing surface, but when turf is the better option for a school and community you go that route.  If every high school in the State of Mississippi could have the Scott Field experience every Friday night when they play, then I don’t think you would see any turf fields, but apparently that’s not the reality.  Yes I do think grass is better,  but I’m certainly not a turf hater when it’s better than what was there before.

Ask OBJ what he thinks about turf fields.

Turf at USM was not kind to 2 of the Raleigh running backs.

If it's about protecting athletes, then grass it is. If it's about how it looks, safety be damned, then turf it is.

im right there with you.
