Doesn't really matter that Defiance has grass. It doesn't HAVE to be on a turf field. PH played Tinora there just a couple years ago in the Regional Final.

This is true. BUT IMO the OHSAA made it clear they prefer turf when PH-LC went to Perrysburg and Bryan-Napoleon went to Toledo when a pefectly suitable local site was available in Defiance(and Napoleon for PH-LC).

That is true BUT do we know if Defiance put in to host those games?

This is also true, and Id bet last year after Romney and then rain ruined the field I believe week 10 they didnt. Cant see why they wouldnt have 2 years ago though.

Still saying it's Lima Stadium for WT/Tinora.

Can't see leaving a turf field open.


Probably also the reason they moved Ada/Crestview south a bit.

Lima for Tinora/WT. Kinda disappointing, guess I can save my 9 bucks. Should be a great game still though.

I understand what the OHSAA wants but this game makes more sense at Defiance...oh well.

[Smooth Pancakes]

Stupid.

Congrats, you got the game on turf. And in the process hurt the communities and fans of Wayne Trace and Tinora. Instead of keeping the game right in their backyards in the 5/6 county area in NW Ohio, Tinora has to make an hour drive to Lima, Wayne Trace a good 40-50 minute drive and the fans of both teams, instead of having a nearby game, they pretty much have to hit the road as soon as they get off work and go completely out of the 5/6 county area just to see their damn teams play.

The preference for turf over grass is great and all, but the OHSAA needs to pull their heads out of their collective asses for a change. They're becoming as big of a goddamn joke as the NCAA is.

This is best option to play the game in good conditions. If it would rain and next weeks game was played on a sloppy field everyone would have been all over OHSAA for playing it on a grass surface

Plus I would bet WT staff and Tinora staff appreciates the turf (Maybe not as much as Tinora since Defiance might as well been a home game)

The DSJ mud bowl in the early 2000s still haunts me

I was going to bring up the Hardin Northern mud bowl game...was that against DSJ?

[oberhaus]

Or the PH-St Henry game in a monsoon at Bath 2004

No, I believe Smithville was the team for the infamous DSJ ankle deep mud game.

2002 HN vs. C. Grove was a snow bowl at Donnell in Findlay.

That Hardin Northern - Columbus Grove game was probably THE most surreal sports experience I've ever had. Surreal in the sense that it was played on a SUNDAY afternoon. It was supposed to be played on Friday night, but we got a freak snowstorm late Thursday evening into early Friday morning that dumped 5-6 inches in our neck of the woods. Donnell had grass at the time and the field was in no shape to be played. Even on Sunday, they cleared only the big yard lines (every 5 yards), hash marks. side lines, goal lines, and end lines.

[whatdoiknow]

What kind of fan complains about having to drive an hour to watch their team play a second round playoff game? It makes me sick that you criticize the state for putting the game on turf. When your looking to find the person who should get their heads out of their behinds just grab a mirror.
