Various articles of local teams/games. Poll on Neutral site for Silsbee/HJ.

Good article.

I have mixed emotions about it.  Here are my pro's and con's:

Pro's:

1.  Everyone that wants to get in to see the game will be able to.
2.  Won't have to get there before 4:49 to see the game that starts after 8:00pm

Con's:

1.  Home Court Advantage
2.  Atmosphere
3.  Revenue from gate
4.  Revenue from concessions

The worst part for me is family members of the players not being able to get in to watch their son or grandson play because they had to work and couldn't afford to take off early. Many parents did take off work, but I wonder if some could really afford to do this or have a boss that was understanding of the situation.

I know for a fact this is being discussed by both schools admins for next season. ;)
