Rebel Stadium make over

[Rebel Yeller]

The make over from the recent bond election continues at Evadale. The school district sold bonds a few years ago for much needed improvements to the acedmic facilities and programming, but when they did not immediately begin construction something great happened, the bond money acrued interest and because of that several facilities were able to get a "make over" and really improve several areas of the extra cirricular programs.

The baseball field got the "Green Monster" wall in left field with huge lettering "Home of the EVADALE REBELS" and I am sure that 2010 1A State Runner Up will be added somewhere before the beginning of the 2011 baseball season.

The Lady Rebels got a new fence, scoreboard and pressbox on their field as well.

The old batting cage got a roof and a new double batting cage is ready for the netting to be ready by next season.

Both the baseball and softball fields got new PA systems too.

The AG department has a brand new arena and feeding center where stalls and pins for upwards of 50 animals can be housed.

and now the final changes are being done to the football field and its support facilities.
1. A new weight and workout room is awaiting the arrival of new equipment. This building also has restrooms for the visiting fans.
2. The concession stand has been expanded and now has more serving windows.
3. The Pressbox and been remodeled on the inside including a new coaches box. On the roof there is now a covered filming area and a visiting coaches box. This includes the new sound system that was installed last year.
4. The old weight room is being concerted into a visiting dressing room and a new bus parking area will be next to it for ease of access to visiting teams.
5. Enlargement of the home stands should begin very soon and be ready before the start of the season.

The Rebels have had great success in all these ares in the past few years and the facilities upgrade will continue to show the pride that the Evadale community has in our Rebels.

Hope you all can come and see what has been done!

Sounds Good. Thanks!

I did swing by the school today and the work on the new visitor locker room has started. It will be a nice change from teams having to go into the junior high locker room or the elementary gym.

Just another update for any Rebel fans.

The bleacher extension on the home side is a couple of days away from completion. The sound system is reinstalled, can't wait to hear how it sounds now that they have added a couple of more speakers. The carpet is all that is needed for the press box renovations to be complete and the new weight equipment should be delivered this week in time for the summer workouts.

The field is in the best shape that it has been in in years. The grass is lush and green! No bald spots and with a mowing today it looks like it looks ready to get its first striping, but I know the coaches will wait awhile. The field house is getting ready as the coaches are busy making sure that equipment and everything else is in place for Monday at 8:30 AM.

Midnight Madness will be at 12:01 AM on August 6th so be sure to put that no the calendar.

You might put a star on the calendar for Sept. 3rd as well as the Rebel Baseball team will be recognized in a pregame ceremony (if all the seniors who graduated can make it of course) The team will present the state runner up trophy and all the individual honors  from all district to all tournament to all state will be presented.

It will be a great year for the Rebels and the expectations will be running high right from the start. Hope to see everyone at Midnight Madness and at every game this season.

I went to an Evadale Baseball game when they played @ home and was very impressed with all the changes that took place

Heck I could even understand the music that they played and the announcer

Congrats Evadale!!!  :)
