What folks aren’t factoring in is that Prestonsburg’s field is being redone. They’ve not been able to be on it at all prior to the dead period starting so I wouldn’t put much focus on the coach going on vacation. Odds are they were only doing weightlifting for the past few weeks while the field is being resurfaced so Hager probably made out a plan for assistants to put in place.

Awesome thought for an excuse. 

There are multiple photographs of the team practicing on the river bank with field lines drawn. That wouldn’t have been a factor.
