Surratt, Others Want Home Field Option for Bi-District like 6A, 5A

SAN ANTONIO - - Scott Surratt owns November and December football, with a career 80–8 record in the playoffs and 10 state championships. He loves these win-or-go-home games, but there’s nothing he despises more than negotiating where to play them.

In classes 6A and 5A, the bi-district round of the playoffs is played at the home field of the higher seed (Nos. 1 or 2). But in classes 4A and below, all games are played at a neutral site. Surratt is one of several coaches who’ve told Dave Campbell’s Texas Football they’re in favor of all classifications granting the higher seed home field advantage in the opening round of the playoffs.
