Have you seen the new athletic fields?
|
EPCHS now has state-of-the-art baseball and softball fields. The fields are products of Midwest Turf Systems and have a shock pad from Brock USA installed underneath.
Also new to the outdoor athletic complex are the dugouts, press box, and locker rooms. The new seats behind the baseball and softball backdrops have come to us directly from a minor league stadium in Louisville.
The new fields are not only much easier to maintain, they offer greater playability with the way the ball bounces and help prevent injuries. Come out and see a game this spring!
