When the stadium is finished, will NY host any playoff games as a neutral site? With all the extra seating, I would think that wouldn't be an issue to host a Division V or VI regional playoff game.

I would love to see NY host some playoff games. I spend all the playoffs traveling all over the place to see some playoff games. It would be great to be able to stay in the area.

I'm with you on that one. I've never traveled around to see playoff games, other than ones NY was involved in. It would be nice to have two great teams who we never get to see to face each other at Boston Field in the playoffs.

Our seating capacity has increased from 1,500 to 2,700. That's a pretty impressive jump in capacity. I wonder if 2,700 seats is enough for a neutral playoff site?

I am not sure what the criteria is for a playoff field, but I am sure someone on here knows (but I would have to think that Boston field is a fit).

Do yourself a favor and take in some of the other playoff games this year. I really enjoy it and it gives you a chance to see some of the best high school football talent in the state of ohio.

If you look at the OHSAA website, it has a list of schools that can serve as playoff hosts and Boston Field is on the list!

How are Buckeye Bash ticket sales going? I bet there will be a mad rush for them at the end!

There is a lot of construction going on @ the HS right now. I would be suprised if NY hosted a game. Last I saw, you can't drive behind the school right now. But, stranger things have happened. The parking would be much better though.

After a 4 hour meeting tonight...the date of the BUCKEYE BASH has been moved back to February 9, 2008.

There is major construction at the school and with low ticket sales, we had no other choice. We have elected to cap off ticket sales to 4000 instead of 6000.

Get your tickets and we guarantee that the drawing will take place on the 9th and that you will have a good time.

Buckeye Bash 2007 to feature $150,000 in prizes

NELSONVILLE - When someone wins a raffle, they usually walk away with a few dollars or perhaps a quilt made by grandma. When someone wins the Buckeye Bash, they could drive away the winner of a pickup truck.

This is not your normal fundraiser.

Held by the Nelsonville-York Athletic Boosters to renovate athletic fields, the Buckeye Bash 2007 will raffle off $150,000 in prizes. Giveaways include a Ford F-150 Supercab pickup truck, a Kubota tractor, a Tracker bass boat, firearms, TVs, bedroom suites, furniture and cold, hard cash, among other prizes.

The drawing for the raffle was going to be held this Saturday, but has been changed to Feb. 9 because of the school district's building project.

How does a booster group come by such prizes? They do it with a little help from their friends and the community, said John Hurd, president of the Nelsonville-York Athletic Boosters.

"We spent some money (on prizes), and local community businesses threw in a little something extra in exchange," Hurd said. "We've gotten a very positive response from the community. They have really stepped up to the plate. Without help from the community and the businesses, our new athletic facilities never would have been opened."

Through community donations and fundraisers, the athletic boosters have built a new football field. New bleachers were added, new turf was installed and a soft-surface track was added.

The raffle was held for the first time last year. A total of $113,000 in prizes was given away, and 3,600 raffle tickets were sold. The raffle made a profit of $60,000. A thousand people attended the bash itself.

"They've really responded well," Hurd said. "In a town of 5,000 people, we had a lot (who) participated that were really excited. People stepped up to the plate. It was a very festive event, and people really got into it."

The new track and athletic field are enjoyed by more than the students, said Mike Bishop, treasurer of the Nelsonville-York Athletic Boosters.

"Those facilities are used by the entire community," Bishop said. "I'll come to the school at 7 in the evening, and the parking lot will be filled with cars from people using the track. Hocking College has used it. It's an addition that has really benefited the whole community of Nelsonville."

The athletic boosters sought out the help of alumni as well. A list of alumni was compiled, and word hit the streets. Organizers got responses from alumni as far away as Washington and Las Vegas.

The money goes toward athletics, and Hurd said he believes sports can play a great role in the development and character of Nelsonville-York youth.

"Both Mike and I were really into sports when we were younger," Hurd said. "We went to college and became successful, and we think sports were instrumental in that success. Sports helped us with our priorities."

Raffle tickets are $50 each, and can be obtained at the Pit Stop, First National Bank, C & J Tax, online at nybuckeyebash.com or by calling 753-4744.
