i dont think that is a good idea at all, first of all you are taking kids out of class, but it also gets them out of their game day routine. I would think Maybe leaving an hour or so earlier would be better. If they are indeed going tonight then you have teenagers laying around in a hotel all day-not good.:HitWall:

I've always felt this way with the state semifinals the Bears have played in the day after thanksgiving gets them out of a comfort zone.

Also most hotels have a checkout time of 11:00am what are they going to do from 11 until 5 or so when the go to the field?

If they need to kill some time a bus ride across scenic pine mountain into Whitesburg is beautiful then they can go onto hazard and come back via 421.
