Wait, Reeds Spring football is getting its new turf from where?

Reeds Spring may be a Class 3 football team, but they will soon play on NCAA Division I turf.

The school district agreed to buy synthetic turf previously used by the University of Cincinnati.

The Reeds Spring R-IV School District will pay approximately $450,000 for the turf and its installation at Carl Langley Field at Wolves Stadium. This turf originally cost $1.1 million.

Cincinnati installed the artificial field turf in 2013. The university is replacing it because the Bearcats will share the stadium with a professional soccer team, which requires different field markings.

"This turf will allow our athletic teams and band to practice and compete rain or shine," said Michael Mason, superintendent of Reeds Spring Schools.
