Tuesday’s Staples football class L semifinal playoff game against West Haven will be played at Fairfield Warde at 6:30 p.m.
While the Wreckers earned home field advantage with their 20-0 Thanksgiving Day win over Greenwich, the Staples field does not have lights.
Despite last-minute attempts to get temporary lights in time for Tuesday, those efforts were unsuccessful.
Is there no one in this Town that considers this outrageous?
Our men on the field under the tutelage of Couch P and his staff have instilled a great sense of pride in Staples athletics! We as a town have responded with attendance in the hundreds and at times the thousands!
What is the reward for these men who study, teach, and endure the rigorous academia and physical workouts of SHS?
The reward is nothing. This staff and players made us all EXTREMLY proud by beating a Greenwich team on Thanksgiving morning to earn a HOME field advantage in the state playoffs only to bus them off to a neutral site to play OUR game
Yet we cant flip a light switch for 3 hours in Westport to say
