With Belphy getting a great new field, and Prestonsburg more than likely playing on the new field at Stone Crest. This leaves the other Floyd Co schools AC, BL and SF with the worst places to play in the region. Anyone have any thoughts on this. By the way the Floyd Co board recently raised taxes.:boosign:

Would it be possible to put a baseball field down in the new Expo Center?

Do you mean inside of it? If so, then I see no way. The majority of the seats in there do not move back...only the first 10 or so rows right by the floor....not enough room.

Ok I have never been in it. But If they could find some way, that would be a cool place to have a regional tournament.

Like I said, I have never been inside of it.

SF's feild wouldnt be nice if they put a dome and turf on it...a 5 year old could hit a home run at SF...what is the distance to the fence? around 175 .....:ChairHit:

I'm guessing you are referring to the field at Garrett (off Route 80).
The field referred to for SFHS is located on Route 122 at Drift. The property was previously the Drift Ball Park. The previous owner passed away and the lease with the BOE ended. The property was purchasedlast year and work on the field was started this past spring.

You would think AC would have a field after winning the Region in 2003 but the board would not build one for them.

All the Floyd County schools should have there own field IMO and if possible it should be on campus. Do any of the schools have a on-campus field in Floyd County? I have seen the Allen Central field from the highway and it looks nice but very small but it has been a year or 2 since I have seen it. I have played at Allen and it gets the job done but Betsy Layne deserves better. Does Prestonsburg play at Archer Park? I have never known Prestonsburg to take baseball very serious, hopefully they will be able to get a on-campus field if they have room because the Blackcats could have a very good baseball program IMO. Paintsville doesn't have a on-campus field but it is one of my favorites in the region, so if done right these schools can get a very nice facility that is not on-campus if nessecary. Once this does happen the teams in Floyd County will be much better.

Betsy Layne has a softball field on campus. The other 3 teams play at Archer Park, Garrett Park and Minnie Park. None of the Floyd County Schools have on campus baseball fields. The field at Garrett was used by SFHS last season along with Junior League. The field at Allen Park was used by BLHS and ACHS. Prestonsburg used the field at Archer Park.
The powers that be in Floyd County should be ashamed of the baseball/softball facilities. Even in Pee-Wee league the fields are in flood zones and are under water each season.

I have been helping groom the new field at Belfry, An all I can say is even though Pikeville has turf, I still like the new Belfry field better. It has a sod infield with a grass out field. It is really first class, Coach Hagy is reallly puttin alot of hours into the fine tuning, they will be alot more done come spring.. Also the bleachers are covered, so the fans wont get wet in the rain...
01-07-2006, 04:06 PM
Well i was just wondering if belfry's field is terf to?
01-07-2006, 06:47 PM

01-07-2006, 11:27 PM

I always liked Johnson Centrals field. It is now one of the older parks and still in good shape. It has seen alot of good players.
