Published August 27, 2008 10:37 pm - Once again, a preseason scrimmage has been moved away from Harve Collins Field. Norman High’s meeting with Putnam City North tonight will now take place at Oklahoma City’s Puntam City Stadium instead of on the Tigers’ home field. Still no action at The Harve Jeff Johncox The Norman Transcript Once again, a preseason scrimmage has been moved away from Harve Collins Field.
Norman High’s meeting with Putnam City North tonight will now take place at Oklahoma City’s Puntam City Stadium instead of on the Tigers’ home field. Norman North had its scrimmage with Edmond North moved last week because the new field turf at The Harve wasn’t ready. New week, same problem. There are still rubber pellets and sand to put down to make the surface feel more like real grass, and the goal posts have yet to be put up. There’s also some trimming around the field’s edges to be done. “They put the team logos on,” Norman Public Schools athletics coordinator Frank Thompson said. “There’s just still some work to do.” Tiger players were understandably disappointed, coach Greg Nation said. After North’s scrimmage was moved last week, NHS players were looking forward to being the first team to hit the new turf. They still will Sept. 18 when they host Moore, one day before the Timberwolves host Westmoore. “They’re very, very disappointed,” Nation said. “I like that, though, because that means they wanted to play in front of our home crowd and at our home stadium. They were excited. But they’re still excited to hit the field tonight and play an opponent anywhere.” Middle school preview Alcott will play host to this year’s middle school preview today starting at 4:30 p.m. Players from all four city middle schools, Alcott, Whittier, Irving and Longfellow, will hit the field for a scrimmage. Long day ahead
