Kingsford's Dream Turf: A Game-Changer for 2025
The dawn of a new era has arrived for Kingsford High School, as their football field now boasts a dazzling new turf. What started as a distant hope is now a vibrant reality for the community and its young athletes.
A Vision Realized
For Principal David Lindbeck and the people of Kingsford, the dream of a new turf field seemed like a far-off aspiration. Through generous private donations, however, that dream has come to fruition. “It’s beautiful,” says local star Jack Kriegl, “It’s surreal to see after growing up on grass.”
Unveiling the New Turf
As the sun rose on August 11, the Kingsford community marveled at the unveiling of an immaculate turf field. While construction continued for a new surrounding track, anticipation built up for the day it would open fully, marking a significant leap in the school’s sporting facilities.
A Hub for Activity
Head coach Mark Novara is ecstatic. “This isn’t just for football,” he emphasizes. The multi-use field will serve baseball, softball, band, PE classes, and beyond. It promises to transform Kingsford into a bustling hub of activity, embodying a commitment to excellence in all areas.
Striving for Greatness
Kingsford’s team, known for their consistency, is hungry for success this season. With seasoned players like Kriegl, resilient Lineman Logan DeClark, and experienced returners like Logan and Preston DeClark, the Flivvers are ready to conquer challenges ahead. Last year’s playoff loss is a driving force, with aims to surpass last year’s unbeaten record.
Ready for Action
What better way to showcase their resilience than on this new field? Kingsford’s home opener on September 12 against Gladstone is set to attract large crowds, and the players are eager to put on a show.
As stated in ironmountaindailynews.com, this new facility is indeed set to be the pinnacle of Upper Michigan’s sporting venues, bringing the community closer together, and shining a light on Kingsford’s sports prowess. The future is bright, and the field is ready for those who dare to dream.
With this new turf leading the charge, Kingsford is poised for a spectacular season. Let the games begin!
