Nestled in central Massachusetts, Marlborough is a quaint town with a rich history that dates back to 1657. The town has grown from a small New England settlement into a center for high-technology industries. Marlborough High School is the main 9-12 grade educational facility in the town and serves just over 1000 students each year. The school is committed to 21st-century learning with an emphasis on academic, social, and civic expectations. Act Global recently finished working with the high school to install a new synthetic turf baseball and soccer field for the Marlborough Panthers.
The Marlborough Panthers baseball team has proven itself as an esteemed program by earning winning multiple prominent championships within the local community. Throughout its history, the Panthers became league champions in 1984, 1986, 1987, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2010, and 2012, in addition to being central Massachusetts champions and state championship finalists in 2003. The Panther soccer team performed exceptionally well in the 2017 season, ending the season at the 7th ranked team in the state and a winning 19-2 record. The Panthers went all the way to the semifinals before an upsetting defeat by one point that kept the team from competing for the championship title.
The new synthetic baseball and soccer turf will be a consistent and safe surface that will allow the Panthers to perform at their peal. Act Global artificial grass is engineered and tested with proven technology to remove bad hops, supply extreme durability, and provide excellent drainage. Each of these factors means that the teams can practice harder and for more hours a week without the constant disruptions of rest time and maintenance. The synthetic turf system offers many practical benefits that make it the superior surface choice, while also providing a stunningly aesthetic pitch that will remain beautiful regardless of the weather or season.
Good luck to the Marlborough Panthers going into the 2018 season!
