I’m pretty sure Gallia had the first chance at a new stadium built by holzer but wouldn’t change the name of the field so holzer threw their money at Jackson

Do the folks really care about this anymore?

What does that even mean? That is a crazy statement. And I agree I don’t think anyone cares anymore.

No ! Something that started 20 years ago ! Move on ! Most has retired !

Memorial Field has flooded at least once a year since it was built, everyone in Gallia County knows this. From what I heard, the track at the new GAHS was built too small for a football field to be in the middle, and now there is no money to rip it up and do it again.

Well, it's fair week. Hope none of the boys get hurt sliding around in the mud.

This makes no sense. Tracks are all a standard size around. How can it be built too small? Sounds like bs to me.

If the track is too small there must be a lot of wrong times from a lot of meets held there.

different starting spots matters what race !all times are good !may be wrong it was a 380 track ?

I like GA chances of winning the OVC this year.

Look at the track around memorial field. That was a small track. If I recall when I ran there in the it seemed like the mile was a extra half lap or more.

I have saw very few football players at fair so far this week. Except those showing animals and it may always rain for fair but this the biggest nastiest mess I remember seeing for a long time

[Geronimo]

4 1/2 or close to it !

As it relates to the track being too small for a football field in the middle, I doubt it has to do anything with the eight lanes where the running takes place. I would imagine that the areas on the inside of the track where high jump, long jump, and pole vault take place are too big to fit a field in between. I may be wrong but this would be my guess if the "track" is too small to fit a football field in. But after last season I say 7-3 or 8-2 is reasonable expectation for this team.

Question for Blue Devil faithful. Does Gallia have a 2nd grade football team? and if so does anyone know the coach, or contact info so we can see if the team would be available for a scrimmage, game etc. Any info would be great! Thanks!
