Cookeville High School will get a new synthetic turf surface after the school board approved the financing completed by Cookeville parents.
The school board gave the parents and about 75 Cookeville Cavalier athletes in attendance a standing ovation. The group raised close to $800,000 to replace Cookeville’s football field.
Organizer Julie Baker said construction could begin as soon as next week on the 75-day project. The football, lacrosse and soccer teams have dealt with poor field conditions on the field for years. Numerous games have been postponed or moved to other locations, such as Tennessee Tech, because the field was not playable.
