With a generous grant from Wiregrass RC&D, Wicksburg High School was able to install a french drain system in the most necessary parts of our baseball playing surface. Weston Backhoe and Contracting performed the engineering, design, and installation of 1,250 feet of a french drainage system on our baseball field, increasing the usability and safety of the field. This project is important because it serves both the high school and general communities, allowing for more available hours on the field for late spring and summer months.
This allowed student-athletes the opportunity to increase preparation and development time during the pre-season and freed school funds for the purchase of new equipment.
