Yesterday, a ceremony was held marking the start of replacing the existing grass football field with a state-of-the-art synthetic turf at the Ashland High School's Phillips Field. The $1.56 million project was kicked off by a donation of $650,000 by AHS alum and major league baseball pitcher Jeremy Guthrie. Below, current AHS Football Coach Charlie Hall and former football coach and athletic director Jim Nagel hold one of the ceremonial gold-painted shovels.
