Flea 27 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 They wouldn't have to travel out of state to practice for the state games or maybe even would allow other teams in the area that are involve to come here to practice . I think it is a good idea. I also heard that the only holdup was that EMATS wanted to put their logo on the turf somewhere and someone in the county didn't like that idea.

Justin_Credible 10 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Richlands football field may get turf By JIM TALBERT Staff writer Wednesday, January 10, 2007 TAZEWELL ? A local businessman has some ambitious plans for two area high schools. Jon Bowerbank, CEO of E-Mats Inc, presented plans for Synthetic grass football fields at Richlands and Honaker High Schools last week Bowerbank presented the idea to the Tazewell County School Board Jan. 8 and Russell County's school board a day later. Bowerbank proposed establishing a 501-C3 corporation to oversee the project. He said one of the goals of the foundation would be to get the work done without any public fund raising activity. He had pitched the idea to Richlands Principal Karen Webb and Football Coach Greg Mance prior to coming to the school board. Bowerbank said his company could do much of the site preparation work. The turf would be purchased from a professional field development company and they would also install it. He gave the board a proposal from Forever Green in Salem to provide all materials, equipment and skilled labor to install turf on a 76,000 square foot facility. The company offered either a conventional base at a cost of $7.05 per square foot or a drainage blanket system at $6.60 per square foot. The drainage blanket system would cost $501,600 and the conventional $535,800. He also showed the board an option for adding a six lane track that would cost an additional $244,080. Forever Green furnished a list of references that included the New York City Parks and Recreation Department, New Jersey Stallions Soccer team, Tarleton State College in Texas and Liberty High School in Virginia. Their proposal included detailed drawings of the proposed field which included Blues stitched in each end zone and an R in the center. It also included a maintenance manual for the field. Forever Green would warrant the field for eight years from the first date of use. The board voted to endorse the idea and gave Bowerbank the okay to proceed. School Superintendent Dr. Brenda Lawson praised Bowerbank for his interest in the community and the school system and his willingness to take on the project.

Hacker 82 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 If I am correct, June Shott paid for the turf at Concord, like she did the media center at Lane Stadium. The Shott Foundation funded the renovations to Mitchell Stadium back in 1998. They may have done Pocy, I am not sure. The Shott Foundation also paid for improvements to Graham Rec. Park and Harmony Acres Pool a few years ago. The two are not the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hacker 82 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 No, Hillbilly is correct. June Shott does her own thing. The Shott Foundation Board includes Buz Wilkinson, Frank Wilkinson, Chandler Swope, John Shott, Mike Shott and other members of the Shott family. I have made several grant applications to them over the years, and those are the folks that I met with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SALTSHAKER 10 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 I would say if Old Ben Tilley and the VHSL were getting a cut they would not care who put what on any part of the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcecilgolf 11 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Would E-Mats be able to put their logo in the little half moon area beyond the end-zone and field goal posts? That is neither on the field nor on the end-zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
