Lights are being looked at right now for the JFL field. Good points and drawbacks.
Other than Raceland we are the only local JFL program to have their own field. Yes we do not have lights but that has been addressed for some time.
$115,000 to put them in and then we can play 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
I do know that the JFL has a been working on a grant for some of the money for this project. This is a LARGE project from a non-profit organization. It works the same as in middle school and high school. The school can not give us money for the project becasue we are not associated with the school. So the money has to be raised, donated or lent to the JFL program. Any money donated to the JFL for lights will solely go toward this system. MUSCO has been here 3 times, or spoken to league members about lights and a REP was here 2 weeks ago for the final assessment on the field and gave the estimate. $115,000...
I dont see anyone standing in line to give us money and until that happens we will have to do with what we got. It sucks to not get games in, I have had that happen to.
So if anyone out there has some extra monay around for lights or would like to donate to a non profit organization for the purpose of furthering the program of Russell and other local football teams please feel free to contact the JFL at Russell. We will gladly use any money toward the lights and I am sure that if someone had a large enough donation ....They would receive naming rights to something on that property.
