The East High practice field was chosen as the Hellas Field of the Month for September. The Aces football and soccer teams practice on the field.

East athletic director Fredrick Crayton said they wanted the field to be unique for the school, therefore the pattern is different from other schools. “The turf has a pattern look to it, which makes it really unique,” Crayton said. “Our student athletes as well as faculty and fans really enjoy it.  We really enjoy the end zone and the colorway of the field.”

The Aces were one of the top teams in Class 6A in football last season and are expected to be the same this season. In boys soccer, the Aces are a combined 42-9-1 over the past three seasons. In girls soccer last season, East went 10-5. “We take pride in our turf field and believe in our students using the facilities,” Crayton said.

Much like other schools not just in Kansas, but also around the country, Crayton was impressed with Hellas and the job they did.  “Our experiences with Hellas were good and we would recommend them to potential clients looking to get work done,” Crayton said.
