On Saturday, Field Turf began installing turf on the football field. If the weather stays dry the install should be completed this week. The prep work on the softball field is scheduled to be finished on Wednesday and they will begin installing the turf by weeks end. Next, they will begin the baseball phase of the project. There was a setback with paving the track and there is a new company on-site who will be completing this work. We remain on track for our opening home game. During this phase of the project it’s imperative that we maintain the worksite. We’re happy that people are excited about the project and want see it firsthand but physical access is limited to construction personnel only. We appreciate everyone’s cooperation.

Back to School Bash
We are now eight weeks in to our Athletic Complex project and the next big step is laying turf on the football field. The weather has not cooperated this week, which has delayed paving the track. All of the electrical upgrades, LED light installation, and press box repairs are complete. Construction of our new entrance way and track timing building are near completion. On Tuesday, excavation of softball field began and is expected to go fairly quickly. We are still on schedule for our first home football game with the Bulldogs from Doddridge County on Friday, September 23rd!
