Spring Football Practice in Oklahoma

by Jeff Fisher
Oklahoma High School Football Huddle




With teams across the state taking part in spring football practice, I went on a search for stories across the web.

The two schools that I present today are definitely polar opposites when it comes to their football programs, but there both dealing with similar situations.

Both 6A champ Union and tiny Little Axe are teams without a field, albeit for different reasons.

Tulsa World reports that Union, which will be looking for the three-peat in 2010, is practicing at Tulsa's Chapman Stadium on the campus of the University of Tulsa because FieldTurf is being installed at Union-Tuttle Stadium.

Then there's Little Axe, which is coming-off its best season ever at 8-3, trying to literally pick-up the pieces after a tornado on May 10th severely damaged its football field.

The Oklahoman reports that the Indians may not play a home game in 2010 because funding to rebuild the stadium may be hard to find in these economic times.
