SMU calling local high schools to try use indoor facility

Postby SMU 86 » Thu Oct 29, 2009 10:40 am

With the storm coming bad weather coming to town practice was canceled this morning and we are now looking to try to borrow a local high school's indoor practice facility on the week on one of our most important game to practice a this evening. I think lightning is a definite issue with this incoming storm. Hopefully, Rockwall Health will help us.

Can't believe Highland Park HS doesn't have an indoor facility. Even with their space issues, it's still HP.

Lake Highlands doesn't have one either, and it's probably the nearest non-DISD school.

Plano has an IPF for all 3 senior high schools I believe. I just think it is ashamed that a D1A college has to call local high schools to try to use an IPF because we don't have one (but it is what it is). But with that being said other than Plano, Rockwall, Souhtlake, and Allen what others are close?

Top 25 in all we do! Meanwhile, our competition is practicing in their indoor facilities.

To be honest BJ I think Orsini asked Bennett if he wanted an IPF and Bennett said no. So they are just now starting to work on the project. Expony18 surprised me when he told me that Tulsa had an IPF.

They have found one. Let's give a big thanks to Rockwall Heath for allowing SMU to use their indoor practice facility today.

Highland Park is building an indoor facility now. It will be ready in late spring. It is located across from the stadium.

I would think so. That is unless everyone does a caravan with the players that have cars.

Great to here. I had heard an indoor facility is in the works. I cannot imagine paying a lot of money for a coach but not following up on the facility. The money is there to build one. It also benefits other athletic teams too. Let's kick Tulsa's rear Saturday....it can be done.

Well I guess you could throw bunch in the back of the pick up truck but the hail that is expected with this storm it could make it a bone jarring trip (literally).

It might be good idea to show up there on a bad day for recruiting purposes (Lancaster has some good athletes). I know the coaches can't talk to the recruits but our presence there could give a positive subliminal message. :D
