Leaving the field with snow on it did not help Kearney, really hurting our defensive speed.

This was a great observation. LN handled it much better by and large. If that was a calculated move it was epic fail.
Why would the fans have anything to do with clearing a HS football field. It definitely shouldn't be up to them to do that. Coaching/administration decision with school employees doing the clearing...
People might debate this one for years, but the bottom line is both teams played in the same conditions.
LN was the better team on both sides of the ball and executed at a higher level than Kearney did. A completely clear playing field (such as Platte Co) wouldn't have made much difference in the outcome.

There are a lot of times that parents paint the football fields and care for them throughout the year. It is not uncommon for that to happen.
Community members, families, school board members, school maintenance staff, etc. all pitched in at Kearney and Platte County to help clear the facilities. If you think that's not normal, then you don't understand how smaller communities operate.
I really hope both schools will schedule each other in the regular season. I would not see either team NOT wanting to play this game. Imagine the Twitter war that would go on too! LOL
Could care less. Too bad the field wasn’t better, appeared to neutralize Kearney’s strengths. You won’t catch me at this game next year.
I have a lot more interest in the college game.

Yes, Kearney is not a small town...I grew up in a town of 2500 not 11,000 (Kearney) and it still was not up to fans/family to clear a field. That is silly to even think it should be anyone's responsibility other than the school. Be better!
I think you guys are missing the point. Blaming fans/parents for the field not being cleared is silly. Can/do they pitch in? Absolutely. But they should never be expected to. The schools get way to much money to require free labor to do their job. Not saying it doesn't happen but that also doesn't mean it should...at a town the size of Tipton I may be able to understand. Kearney has no excuse other than the coach and admin not wanting it to be cleared very badly which ended up working against them
I watched how sloppy that Parkway North game was and didn't take the bait. I'm gonna get in lots of trouble but so be it I actually won a bucket of beers at the local pub picking LN to win this one.
