Thanks to Hartsville coach Troy Alexander who met with Jerome Singleton yesterday, but to no avail.
Essentially, Jerome made the decision based to move the match to Gilbert HS on the basis that the executive body deferred to him. He said Stone Stadium was never an option due to smoke bombs being thrown on the field the last year the games were held there and they were worried about getting everyone of one side of the field at one time.
The short of it, is that this year is done -- it's at Gilbert HS.
If we want any kind of frame work for next year, then it has to come from ADs and Principals -- not coaches. He made it very clear that he does not want to hear from us at all.
The Hartsville AD has agreed to bring up Stone Stadium, Clemson, Furman, and Blackbaud this summer. I would encourage all schools to follow suit.
