Pilot Point's baseball field will soon be covered in artificial turf following the Pilot Point ISD board's 5-1 vote approving the change with Paragon Sports Constructors selected as the contractor.
PSC Vice President Bret Allen, business development representative Tim Buchanan and natural grass manager Kyle Robertson answered the trustees' questions regarding the different options presented: a fully natural field, a 50/50 mix of turf and natural field, and a full artificial turf field.
“The Pilot Point High School baseball field is in need of repair for a number of reasons,” Dr. Brant Perry said. “First and foremost, the surface, which poses significant safety concerns in the outfield, in the infield, around the pitching mound, in and around home plate. … This issue requires immediate attention.”
