MC-Sterling City

Heard they moved the game to thursday night @ Borden County. Can anyone confirm?

 

[Howdy_85]

From a reliable source....

Game will be at 8:00 p.m. THURSDAY at Borden County

Game change confirmed. Just received automated message from school (SC). Any idea why it was changed?

 

[snapdragon]

I heard because of the weather thats coming. Don't won't fans or kids on school buss have to travel home in an ice storm.

 

[97Eagle]

I agree. I thought about it after I hit submit, lol. I forgot Motley County is further north than we are in SC. Definitely don't want anyone traveling in a mess like that, especially a group of kids. Thanks for helping me get over my "Duh" moment snapdragon, lol.

No the sc-mc game will be at Borden County but the time is 7:30

 

[flybynight]

and yes...thursday

Isn't Borden County a tad small for a State Semifinal game??

Its listed capacity is 350, whereas most other 6M semifinal games in recent history have been at stadiums with around 3000 capacity (Hico, Comanche, Glen Rose, etc).

Why not play at some place like Sweetwater, Snyder or Post?

 

[freelancer]

ELE I agree with you on the capacity thing but this late into the season a lot of school have not been on their field in 4 weeks. Football is over for them and they are not willing to host games. Too much of a hassle for them. Over the years I've seen several teams have a hard time finding a host stadium that is far (driving) for both teams.

 

[elenaran]

both Post and Sweetwater have hosted 6M playoff games in the past, semifinal games at that (post in 2006, sweetwater in 2010)!

 

[JohnnyHammersticks]

Don't you remember last year when MC played in the semis in Sweetwater. BAD LUCK.

 

[flybynight]

Yeah we were going to play in sweetwater in the good ole 'stang bowl again but evidentally the MC coach refused to play there this go'round. dont know exactly why....have our guesses. But yes, youre right...BCs stadium is a five-star stage...just a bit small. we'll c how everyone copes with the space tonight! ready to see a great semifinal matchup

If I were a Sterling City fan - I might make a mental note for next year to remind me focus on the game and not the venue.

 

[elenaran]

should've gone to Post then!

 

[Dogface]

Why don't you just Post a score?

yeah key word is "if". IF you were an sc fan. we are lucky to not have people like you though as our fans lol. mc played a GREAT game and they fought hard. no shame in losing to a team like that. though we were missing three starters (this is not an excuse..just a statement) the sc football team never gave up. wish we would have been full throttle and been able to prove what game we really had instead of what we brought to the table at the time. proud of the boys and i give credit where credit is due. great job mc. best of luck.

 

[elenaran]

how did the Borden County stands hold up to the semifinal game?

 

[flybynight]

It was good. Great stadium. Not as many people showed up as expected so it was a good place to hold the game.

HaHa!!
Maybe you and your team need to make a mental note for next year!
Maid of Honor, this year!

The field and seating were great maybe seating a little closer than normal but it was cold and we didnt mind.

Thank you to Borden County you were a good host.
