Facilities Upgrades at Evadale

[Rebel Yeller]

The Evadale ISD is upgrading several athletic facilities on the campus.

[b]Baseball[/b] - A new outfield wall is replacing the chainlink fence that presently streaches from foul pole to foul pole and renovations are being made to the press box above the concession stand.

[b]Softball [/b] - Also getting a new outfield wall, an elevated press box and a new scoreboard.

[b]Football[/b] - An expanded concession stand with more serving windows, additional bleachers being added on the home side, renovation and expansion of the press box and conversion of the old weight room at the west end of the stadium as a visitors dressing room. These are in addition to the newly renovated and resurfaced track, increased field lighting and the new sound system at the stadium. 

[b]Weight Room[/b] - A new weight room will be constructed between the football and baseball fields. This facility will allow for increased weights and the ability to host power lifting meets in the future.

These upgrades when added to the gym will make Evadale's athletic facilities among the best in the area for any school at any classification.

These projects in addition to the new Ag barn presently under construction are the last items from a bond that was passed by voters four years ago. Other things that were done were the construction of a new wing on the elementary and junior high school. Including new science and computer labs. The high school recieved a renovated science and computer lab. The entire school was networked, new video cameras were installed for security and several other projects that will enhance the educational experience for students and teachers.

those dugouts are tiny and too close to not have any type of fence in front or short wall in front.

[Rebel Yeller]

Fences on the softball and the baseball fields are both complete with the baseball field getting its own version of the "Green Monster". 2/3rds of the fence is about 6 foot but the height goes to about 16 foot front left center to the corner. This will make hitting homers a bigger chore for right handed hitters.

Looking forward to hosting games in just a few weeks after the basketball playoffs that is!

Just wanted you to know spoonbill that they powers that be must have been listening as there is now a fence in front of both dugouts at the baseball field. Does not make them bigger, but with the fence moved out from the front players will be able to place gear gags on the fence to free up space inside the dugouts.

[/quote]that should definitely help. you sure didn't have to tell anyone in the dugout to pay attention last year. there was no need to even take your glove off when you come in from the field. i'm gonna have to come check out that green monster.

Just an update on the Rebel facilities update

The outfield fences on the baseball and softball fields are complete the "Green Monster" in left field will make for some interesting plays for left fielders.

The new softball pressbox is complete.

The baseball batting cage is getting its remodel now and the posts are in the ground for the new softball batting cage.

A new scoreboard for the softball field should arrive soon.

The school board is waiting to let bids from the new bleachers for the football stadium and the renovations to the pressbox.

Remodeling of the football concession stand continues and should be finished soon.

The track is ready for the up coming season and it looks great!

Not an athletic facility, but the foundation for the new ag barn and show arena has been poured. The contractor is awaiting the steal building at this point, but it will be a very large structure that will be a great asset to the Ag program and the community.

Just thought some might be interested in the progress!

Progress on the Rebel Athletic Complex continues!

The removation to the boys batting cage is just about complete and the new double batting cage by the softball diamond is coming along nicely.

More updates as progress continues!

That is awesome Yeller! Apparently, the HI boys won't be at the Evadale tourney as they have been MANY times in the past. Haven't quite gotten the whole story there, but oh well. We'll see you soon though!
