Hellas Enhances Bowling Green High School Athletic Facilities with Advanced Turf Technology

Hellas Upgrades Bowling Green High School Athletic Fields

Hellas, a company renowned for its cutting-edge sports surfaces, has recently completed significant upgrades to various athletic facilities at Bowling Green High School in Kentucky. This comprehensive project incorporates the installation of High-Performance artificial turf, designed to enhance the playing experience for various sports, particularly baseball, softball, soccer, and lacrosse.

The installation includes the MajorPlay® turf, specifically tailored for the school's baseball and softball teams, both of which boast impressive records including multiple state championships. Notably, these upgrades complement the earlier enhancements made to "The Pit," which serves as the home field for the men's and women's soccer as well as the lacrosse teams, where the Matrix H® Blend turf was installed in 2023.

The transition to artificial turf has been met with enthusiasm from the teams and coaching staff. Craig Widener, who coaches the boys’ soccer team, expressed his satisfaction, stating that the new surface closely resembles natural grass, offering both beauty and reliable performance in terms of ball bounce.

Additionally, both the MajorPlay and Matrix H products feature ultra-durable fibers, built to withstand the intense demands of high-level sports programs, ensuring longevity and functionality. Lisa Correa, the head coach for the girls' soccer team, highlighted the excitement surrounding the upgrades, indicating her optimism for a spirited season ahead, stating, "We have many teams that are utilizing that field."

Jeff N. Smith, the president of Hellas, shared his excitement regarding this partnership, saying, "Bringing several of our best products to the elite sports programs at Bowling Green High School is thrilling. We're looking forward to another great season for the Purples."
