Not the best idea
The Wilson and Darlington girls are playing for the Class 3A lower state championship Friday.While that comes as no surprise, the fact that they are playing in Bennettsville is.
The two schools, about 15 minutes apart on a light traffic day, have to go 50 minutes away to play at a neutral site? That doesn't even begin to make sense.
The reasons for this always center around availability, and of course, money. Availability is one thing, but if this is a money issue, both schools are hurting themselves by going on the road.
Unless Marlboro County offered the gym for free, the money they'll lose in gas and people staying at home because of the drive will more than make up for any cost.
I understand times are tough, but driving that far to save a few bucks isn't really the best idea. The game would have been much better off somewhere in Florence.
