bandsucks 10 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 It's already mid April and they were supposed to start on Honaker's turf before Richlands from what I heard, and they haven't even started on Honakers. So is the whole turf thing a rumour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flea 27 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 Rumor mill has it that they promised money for a big project to another school and then never came through. I hope it doesn't happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigD4VT 11 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 Who Emats? I wouldn't believe that. They do these things through "The Bowerbank Foundation" which was founded by Emats CEO John Bowerbank. The purpose of the foundation is to fund projects like this at schools located in area's where the company has business interests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveMann 10 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 [ QUOTE ] dose anyone know if richlands is getting turf this year or not [/ QUOTE ] Honakers' field was planned way before Richlands. However, Richlands is now part of the project. Honakers field will get done first. Then if there is enough time, to get Richlands field done then they will do it as well. If it doesn't get done this year it is a 100% go for next year. So if you are a Richlands fan, keep your fingers crossed!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Go ahead and mark the field, build the seating and facilities, acquire a scoreboard and lights and we may have something. Since this is not going to happen. Moving the "little league" to the rec. park is not a viable option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveMann 10 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 I think the debate has always been, how much "traffic" the field gets. I used to agree that maybe the youth should have their own field, but after years of doing games and seeing the field from season beginning, to season end I am not sure that the youth make that much difference in the field. Could be drainage. Could be a voodoo curse from the folks at Tazewell or Graham (that's a joke by the way before anyone gets too upset haha). I think it is just one of those fields that just kinda look that way at the end of the year. To sum it up, again keep your fingers crossed for field turf!!!

BigBlue02 11 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Our field has never drained good. Like the mug said from the 92 state champ's.... our field is better suited for a tractor pull. But then again I like it like that. But then again we don't run much I formation any more. So there is no use in playing in the mud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigD4VT 11 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Most years the field is taken care of but it would be a wasted effort this year if we do get field turf. I'm sure they will do a lot of work if it's decided that field turf isn't possible for 2007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldogs52 484 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Well they better hurry and decide because I seen that field yesterday, and it looks like a cow field!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
