What a crazy world we live in, where there isn't a day that goes by without someone complaining about a lack of funding for educational purposes. Yet, there is a simultaneous effort to install turf on a rural, 3A football field at a school with one winning record in the past 15 years.
Limestone County is installing turf fields at all of its high schools. $16 million total for a system that has a combined 7 playoff wins between its 7 county schools in the last 10 years.
In the last 10 years: Ardmore - 3 winning seasons (2 playoff appearances, 0 wins) Clements - 1 winning season (3 playoff appearances, 0 wins) East Limestone - 2 winning seasons (4 playoff appearances, 1 win in 2018) Elkmont - 0 winning seasons (only 13 total wins) Tanner - 4 winning seasons (6 playoff appearances, 3 wins) West Limestone - 3 winning seasons (3 playoff appearances, 3 wins)
