A new field has been built for the use of the Hubbard sports teams. Equipped with a high school regulated football field, soccer field, baseball field, and softball field, all made with artificial grass (turf). The field also has a tall gate for baseball and softball, a net around the gate for football, and a storage unit for athletic equipment . While the field was built, it very much affected how Hubbard’s sports teams practiced. The teams were not able to practice or play anywhere as dependable as Hubbard field. “We had to practice at Pasture, so we always had to take a bus to get there. Also, the practice hours were always so late,” said Mr. Brown, linemen coach. Football wasn't the only sport affected. The baseball team also had their troubles when the new field was being created. “When they were building, we had all our games as away games, and we also couldn't practice outside,” said Mr.O'hara, head baseball coach. “When the field was done, it looked very nice and beautiful.” The new field will make the spectators feel more comfortable because the new bleachers are closer to the field. Fans have a perfect view to cheer on their favorite team, and the Greyhounds will finally have a field on which to continue Hubbard’s tradition of creating champions. Comments are closed.
