The National High School Baseball Coaches Association (NHSBCA) has named Opelika High School’s baseball field the Region 3 Synthetic Turf Field of the Year.

“This honor reflects the strong commitment of our city and school system to providing first-class facilities for our student-athletes,” said Opelika Head Baseball Coach Bart Butler. “Our players, families, and fans deserve a field that matches the tradition and pride of Opelika baseball. We are grateful for the continued support that makes this possible.”

NHSBCA’s Region 3 includes high schools from Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. As the Region 3 representative, Opelika High School’s field will now advance to compete against seven other regional winners for the NHSBCA’s National Synthetic Turf Field of the Year Award, which will be presented at the NHSBCA National Convention on December 5 in Fort Myers, Florida.
