The rain hasn’t stopped the Mount Dora Bulldogs from debuting their new synthetic turf field.

The turf for Tom Jett Field was one of the final pieces in finishing the Bulldog’s new stadium.  Chronic rain has been an issue for the school’s last football field, so the new artificial grass system will ensure that the team has a safe surface to play on.  The all-weather turf includes a new drainage system that will allow players to get back on the field quicker after rain and play more hours each week.   Mount Dora Christian Academy is also the only school in the Lake County area to have a stadium that features artificial turf.

The grand opening of the new athletic facility took place last Friday, August 25th on the Bulldog’s first game of the season.  The team took home a win over Legacy charter with a final score of 35-19.  Tonight the Bulldog’s will be hosting another home game, facing off against Bayshore Christian at 7 PM.

Good luck to the Bulldogs tonight, hope you pull another win!

Marin Catholic High School Upgrades to the Safety of Synthetic Turf

by

Marin CatholicMarin Catholic is a private college preparatory school dedicated to providing students with a foundation in faith, knowledge, and service.

For the Wildcats, renovations to the Bishop Daly field could not come soon enough.  Last season teams were forced to navigate tree roots growing in the outfield from the bordering vegetation. Because the field is co-occupied by both the baseball and the field hockey team, Marin Catholic utilized the summer break to address growing safety concerns.

After 15 years, the school selected Act Global’s synthetic turf for both the infield and the outfield.  Our California partner, The KYA Group, helped in arranging and installing the Wildcat’s new surface.

Adan Callan, the school’s athletic director has noted that “Everyone is excited for the project to be complete… and the students are excited to play on it.”

The multi purpose turf offers high-speed play with ideal traction and stability to enhance player protection.  Our artificial grass is benchmarked against top natural grass facilities to ensure precise engineering of our surfaces.  Because our products are developed using maximum UV inhibitors to withstand heavy use, our synthetic turf is a durable surface that will last longer and perform better under the use of multiple teams.

To minimize undergrowth trip hazards in the future, the previous trees in place will be replaced with palm trees.

Yesterday was the first practice of the women’s field hockey team on the new turf at Bishop Daly.  Good luck on the fall season, and Go Wildcats!

In another piece by The Advocate, reporter Scott Robalais starts off the article that analyzes Saturday night’s game with: “First off, the new turf inside the Mercedes-Benz Superdome looks great.  A much more vibrant green than the old rug”.

The Saints performed excellently on the new turf, completely shutting down the Texans.  The final score was 13-0 with Darius Victor named “Player of the Game” for his 8 carries, 30 rushing yards, and single touchdown.
