I was at the game last night & was surprised at how bad Clinton's field is. Before anyone says anything I know it has rained a lot over the past several weeks, but I also know the AC's field is not like this. I just hated it for the Seniors of both teams that were in the band or was a cheerleader because of the fields. Not only were they hard to even walk on but the smell was appalling. I hate that the Dragons have to deal with this every time it rains. Someone needs to step up & do something about the football field, surely there is some solution out there!!

Listen, year in and year out, Clinton has one of the nicest playing surfaces in this area. Ask officials from other schools.

The problem this year stems from the fact that it has rained either just before or during every home game. Yes, it's rained at all other schools but Clinton's problem snowballed from one game.

In September, Clinton played a home game with TC Roberson of Asheville, NC. One hour before game time it came an absolute deluge putting the field underwater. Under most circumstances the game would have been postponed...but given the fact that Roberson had driven so far and couldn't return...Clinton did everything to get the game played. So they waited till nearly 9:30 before starting the game in a mudhole. The field has never recovered because there's been very few sunny days.

While I do agree that the field is "ick" at times, I have realized that when we lived in FL, our son had to play a game at someones field that was a literal cow pasture. The day before the game, they would get all the cows out and close off the gate so they could "clean" the field.(if ya get my jist)... So a little mud here, is really not that bad LOL Just remember... while it could be better, it could def be a lot worse!
