I have noticed that the field is now covered with all new top soil. Seems that they are finally fixing the crown on the field. I have also heard that new drains and a new sprinkler system is too be added. Does anyone know for sure whats going on?

The field is now finished....oops...someone forgot the grass! It appears that the new 21 head sprinkler system is working fine on the mud. Anyone have any information on how long it takes for bermuda grass to grow where it is play worthy? The administration seems to think it will be ready for the Ray Correll Bowl on August 24th. Myself I don't think so, I think that Bob Tucker better be calling Pulaski or Southwestern and have plan B in place.

^ I'm no expert but it sure looks like it won't be ready to me.. Hope the Jumpers don't wind up like Boyle Co. last year and have to play a lot of road games due to field conditions...

What is going on at Somerset? Seems as if there is alot of distraction. We will find about the field at the Ray Correll Bowl. We(SWHS) will be the 1st game against Rockcastle Co.:thumb:

Seeded bermuda takes at the most 14 days to germinate. Once germinated the warm season grass grows very rapidly and could be ready to play on by late August. Should be a fast track.

Thanks for the insight :thumb:

I'm not for sure the guys name that supervised the field overhaul, he takes care of UK's fields (so I've been told). He said not to worry that everything will be fine with the grass. The sprinklers are running several times a day, so water is not an issue.

Lake Cumberland is down 40+ feet. Where are they finding water?

There's still plenty of water in the main channel of the lake.

I've not been watering my lawn in support of the Jumpers, got to have that field ready- just kidding. As AverageJoe said, there's plenty of water in Lake Cumberland.

I went by the field today and noticed grass is already starting to grow. Seems that CCHS_Dad knows what he is talking about. Hopefully to more months worth of growing and it will be ready to play on.

Hopefully when I come back for the Ray Correll Bowl, the field will be in prime shape!

How is that new grass looking?...:thumb:
