Dublin Scioto High School is home to the Irish and has several notable alumni that went on to play in the NFL. The northwest Columbus, Ohio suburb opened Scioto High School, its second of three high schools, in 1995 and won a state championship in football that very year. Since the school renovated their football stadium with a new synthetic turf system in 2013, the Irish have had all but one winning season within the Ohio Capital Conference. The team ended their 2016 ranked in the top 100 out of over 700 Ohio high school football teams.
Xtreme Turf was chosen and built by ProGrass as the surface of choice for the Irish for its proven safety, durability, and performance. Our artificial grass systems are specifically engineered to meet top natural grass benchmarks, inhibit vertical deformation, and excel through heavy use and intense climatic conditions. What this means for Dublin Scioto is that their football teams have a turf system that is prepared to support them through every practice and game and protect the Irish’s student-athletes from the most common injuries related to fatigue. These safety components allow athletes to perform to their full potential and perform excellent plays.
Good luck to the Irish on the rest of their 2017 season!

Lakeside High School is a public high school located in the quaint western Riverside town of Lake Elsinore, California. Lakeside is one of three high schools in the district. Students are taught the fundamental pillars of respect, integrity, scholarship, and effort, and how to apply these traits to “rise and lead”. This is an expectation of students both in academic and athletic settings, and one that the football team has taken to heart. The Lancers currently boast a 5-1 record with multiple shutdowns of their opponents. Week 6 is about to get underway, marking the start of league games and the hunt for a playoff title. This week Lakeside will face off against Paloma Valley who match their 5-1 record. The Lakeside Lancers compete in the CIF Southern Section Sunbelt League.
With student-athletes working as hard as the Lancers, a safe and supportive surface is necessary for the long daily practice hours and games. The average high school football player can spend multiple hours a day practicing on the field, which is why Lakeside High School chose Act Global synthetic turf and installation by The KYA Group. The new multipurpose field is composed of artificial grass that is designed for professional play and offers quicker recovery from fatigue, ideal balance of shock absorption and vertical deformation, and a high yarn density for player comfort. This gives the Lancer football and soccer teams a stable and long-lasting sports system.
The Lancers will be taking on Paloma Valley High School at home tomorrow night at 7:00 PM.
Good Luck to the Lancers!

Minneapolis’ multipurpose venue for major sports, music, and cultural events has been recognized by Athletic Business magazine as a pinnacle facility.
The Facility of Merit Awards are announced each October after a rotating panel of leading architects convenes to select the top 10. Selections are based on the following categories: plan efficiency; functional relationships and measures taken to maximize use of space; interior finishes, detailing and color schemes; exterior design; the relationship of building to site; and cost of construction for value received.
At 1.7 million square-feet, U.S. Bank Stadium opened in 2016 as the new home for the Minnesota Vikings and as the host for several prominent sporting events. The venue was designed on the basis of climate and culture of Minneapolis with exceptional quality and comfort for the fans that frequent the facility. The architects that created U.S. bank were exceptionally thoughtful in each design element that was implemented to be beautiful while functional. The transparent roof illuminates the interior with natural light and protects it from snow while acting as a “heat reservoir” to store solar heat and reducing energy usage by 16%.
Act Global is honored to have its brand of turf within U.S. Bank, a venue that was conscientiously crafted in each detail. Act Global synthetic turf is engineered and tested to offer a superior playing surface for players, as proven by a variety of benchmark tests and quality and durability checks.
3 of the judges from the panel gave raving remarks about the U.S. Bank Stadium:
“Monumental, striking and memorable. The sheer scale of this powerful abstract Viking form is impressive and bigger than life. Hard not to be consumed by all this facility has to offer the fan experience on game day.” — Troy Sherrard
“Dramatic design derived from a concept connecting the history of the Vikings and Nordic design to a bold and aggressive modern facility.” — Kalman Nagy
“Creative seating bowl and long-span solution. I appreciate the fresh approach to the building type. A bold form that derives from the local climate and Viking precedents.” — Stephen Sefton
Congratulation to U.S. Bank on this momentous award!

Our California partner, The KYA Group, recently completed installation of our synthetic turf system for Fullerton ISD.
Fullerton Union High School is the oldest high school in Orange County, California. Since 1893 the secondary school has prided itself on creating an environment grounded in academic, athletic, and co-curricular success. The school consistently ranks in the top 7% of high schools, as reported by both US News and World Reports, as well as being named as Washington Post’s “Most Challenging High Schools”. The Fullerton Indians athletics teams compete under the California Interscholastic Federation’s Southern Section.
The Indian’s new multiuse field will be the official surface for the football and soccer teams. The men’s varsity football team had a rough start to the season with three away games in a row that resulted in losses. However, on the team’s homecoming on the Indian’s turned the season around and came out with a win. Tonight the Indians will be taking on the Sanora Raiders in an away game, but next week (10/13), the boys will be back home on their own turf.
The synthetic turf sports system at Fullerton Union High School is specifically engineered for player safety and performance. Act Global turf is designed to give athletes of all levels a professional-quality sports surface that will reduce injuries and increase playability.
Good luck to the Indians on the 2017-2018 season!
