As part of a $47 million schools and athletic facilities improvement program the Jal High School stadium will get artificial turf and a new $450,000 "state of the art" press box. The softball field will also be turfed. The entire high school will be totally remodeled. It seems that Jal is not going to let nearby Eunice blow them away with new facilities. However, I think Eunice blew the entire state away with their new football field house. Around other parts of the EnergyPlex, the $16M stadium expansion in Hobbs should start construction as soon as this upcoming season is over. The 14 fields adjacent to Hobbs High have now finally completed the remodeling and turf projects. And earth movers are now sculpting the 24 acres for the new athletics and activities complex being built adjacent to NMJC and Zia Park Hotel and Casino. The Maddox Foundation has donated $25M as their share of this adventure that is in partnership with Hobbs Schools, the City of Hobbs, Lea County, New Mexico Junior College and the University of the Southwest. The amazing $14M golf course and club house known as RockWind Community Links will have it's grand opening tournament on May 18th. Hall of Famer Fred Couples will be here and foursome entry fees for the first tournament are $1,000. Call 397-9297 to enter. All of the entities and folks involved in all of these projects deserve a ton of appreciation for their efforts in improving the athletics, health and wellness categories for the residents and visitors of the EnergyPlex.
Congratulations to Jal High School & The EnergyPlex
