Which School has the best Athletic Facilities????

[KFDM COOP]

How's Nederland's Press Box now?

Silsbee's facilities are getting better every year. You gotta love that stadium' date=' but I wish they would build a locker room a little closer to the field for the Tigers at halftime.[/quote']

I agree on getting some locker rooms closer to the field, Last year when BC played jasper there the guys pretty much had to walk a half mile to get to the field house. But I would have to say Silsbee's Football field, and BH Baseball facilities are the best in the area IMO......

BH's baseball field is nice (suppose to get some additional work this summer). BH football field would be great if the visitors side was bigger. BH basketball building is getting a ton of money from the last bond issue--it should be the best HS gym around when finished. BH tennis courts are top of the line.

[KFDM COOP]

I would probably have to say Silsbee and BH.

[Bread]

vidor's tennis courts are pretty good too, just built like 2-4 years ago

[KFDM COOP]

Saw that! What's the deal with the new lights just south of the Tennis Courts?

[Guest Kelly Football]

One of these days we'll have some very nice facilities. Turf will come within 2 years along with a much larger stadium.

How's Nederland's Press Box now?

Substandard , I think. very basic with folding chairs and a couple of window units trying to keep it cool. I think the audio setup is old, and its cramped. At least they have the scrolling message bar on top of the scoreboard that they control from up there. They should have high-speed internet up there this year.

[KFDM COOP]

No damage from Rita?

[Bread]

idk i guess we needed lights for parking for football or something

[Bigdog]

No, not that I know of. That was the one thing I hoped Rita would get!! :twisted:

[KFDM COOP]

:shock:

[Guest Kelly Football]

We have very nice Facilities now at Kelly. Our coaches have worked hard the last couple of months.

[KFDM COOP]

Word is you guys may wait another Year on the Turf.

[Bigdog]

Are you referring to Ned?

[KFDM COOP]

Kelly. While we're on the subject when do you think Nederland will get Turf?

[Bigdog]

Don't know. Its one of those things thats in the works, but I don 't know a timeline. I will try to find out though.

[KFDM COOP]

One nice thing about the new field turf is you don't have to do any maintaince on it.

[Bigdog]

Yeah, I hope we get it. That and some parking.

[KFDM COOP]

Where would the new parking go?

[Bigdog]

I hope the practice field next to the stadium. If they get turf then the middle school can practice in the stadium.

[KFDM COOP]

Some of the Schools like Lufkin that have the indoor Turf practice fields are really nice. Big money there though.

One nice thing about the new field turf is you don't have to do any maintaince on it.

You got to add those sacks of black pellets. Lufkin had just added a few thousand pounds of those before the playoffs last season.

[KFDM COOP]

Must be nice! :roll:

I was on the field last season during the Silsbee/Palestine game and those things were everywhere. Looks like little BBs. Amazing how far turf fields have come since the old Astroturf days. The Dome's turf isn't near as forgiving as the new field turf. I could see how injuries could occur.
