For the record, not all of us Boyle fans have whined or cried about it. :Thumbs:

You're right Hatz...I've not noticed you don't usuallly say much more than Go Rebels or picking you team to win. My hat off to you.:Thumbs: The reason that Rockcastle doesn't have a tarp...or turf or things like that is the fact the county just doesn't have that kind of budget. The coaches and the schools grounds staff have to try to keep up the fields...all fields...baseball, football etc.... When you take a job as coach...you become way more than a coach in Rockcastle. I've watched the coaches trying to spray for weeds, digging up and edging baseball/softball fields and fertilizing several times at Rockcastle. A fundraiser in a rural county like Rockcastle will just carry so far as there aren't that many businesses and only so much money to go around. Jack said he had roots in Brodhead...if he is younger than fifty years old...he may have played on the same baseball fields that are at the fairgrounds in little league. The money isn't there. They are going round and round right now down there about a recreational complex for the kids at the almost broke country club. If the county does buy the country club, they will have to finance it(borrow) to pay for it. There is something about it every week in the paper. I'd say that the football field and stands are in really good shape for the use that the field sees and for a county that small.
