We are very fortunate to have the improvements to Shuford Stadium, Kirkland Field, and Alcorn Family Turf. Below is a photo from early morning 6am football practice this week under the lights and on Alcorn Turf, even with the 3-4 inches of rain we have had the past few days with more on the way.



Below and before the new turf was installed, Kirkland Field would be quite different following rainfall.
