Plains High weighs option for home games in 1947
The Plains High School debates hosting football games at Athens or Chauncey after planning to elevate the sport financially. The Indians join the Southeastern Buckeye Conference with Chauncey Coalton McArthur Oak Hill and Rutland, considering Thursday night home games at Athens, Friday away games, or Chauncey afternoon contests. Lights are unavailable at Chauncey, and Athens hosts four away games. Sharing Athens stadium could boost attendance for county neighbors lacking fields, without harming Athens patronage.
