How is the condition of the field at Cooper? Is it torn up? Is it loose from rain? Did the field condition there contribute to the current injuries?

It is grass and fields boys and girls soccer, football, and I even think the band practices on the field sometimes. It rained yesterday and a girls soccer game was played, so I would say it is probably muddy and torn up.

None of the injuries are related to the field. Hicks broke his arm. Smith tore up his knee on the practice field. Keller broke leg at Campbell Co. Ramey tore up his knee, if I'm not mistaken, also on the practice field but it was from a hit, not the ground. Just heard we have two MORE starters out due to concussion this week now.

This game is at Cooper Correct?

There ought to be a parent rebellion over the fields (practice and playing) at Cooper, Connor and Boone!

Nothing can be done, it all comes down to money and the school district doesn't have the money to put field turf in.

Only gonna get worse.....I think there are 2-3 soccer games and Freshmen football on the field this week too. SK might want to bench a stud or two (or 12!!) for their own safety and well-being.

Until that Fussinger kid goes NFL - then he can buy us turf. Oh, wait, that won't fly either......

It amazes me that more Boone County parents do not choose to move their athletes. Football it seems to me, is just another after school activity. You would think that BW and CC would have a pipeline from Boone County, but that does not seem to be happening like it did in Kenton County before they improved their facilities.

Thats actually not true. The school district chooses not to.

Overall, I am VERY happy with the academic offerings, atmosphere, and administration in Boone Co. My sons are all but attending college this year, taking 5 AP classes each. Sports - for us - is just a fun diversion, not the way to college. I love our home, neighbors, and friends out here - no way am I moving when they will be moving on in two years. I can't speak for others.

We are watering the field, paying officials, getting the band to leave at halftime, having our announcer say nothing related to that other school and cutting off their water for good measure

 

turn up the heat in their locker room too!

Ramey tore his knee up during the Maroon Gold game, but it was from a hit, not the field.

Not entirely true. The money is fact, as when Cooper opened they didn't even have the money to get practice mats for the cheerleaders so I doubt they have $5 mill sitting around to put field turf on all the boone county schools.
