About Hellas

The Talk of the Panhandle

GRUVER, TX (August 7th, 2014) — – Gruver Independent School District selected Hellas Construction last year to design and build a baseball, softball dream complex. The school floated a bond exclusively for this $2.7 million project. The facility was completed last month and features baseball, softball, press boxes, landscaping, playground, bleachers, lights, concession stand, restrooms and a parking lot to provide sports entertainment for the school district and surrounding communities. Hellas was chosen due to their capability to design and build the entire project with their own resources, from start to finish, which was especially appealing to the district.

“This was an outstanding project,” Superintendent David Teal said. “It is a gorgeous, unique facility. Hellas Construction went above and beyond. It’s a showplace, not just a high school softball, baseball field. It’s not just a chain around a field, it has detail. The architectural elevation changes, and the use of materials makes it an experience to go to the ballpark. It’s architecturally interesting.”

The entire community of Gruver and those surrounding it seem to agree with David Teal. The teams are willing to travel to Gruver just for the opportunity to participate in the field.

“Hellas is really a leader in the field,” said Angelo State President Brian J. May. “When you start looking at Hellas and their products and the fact that they have practically put turf in every major field in the State of Texas, not the least of which the Dallas Cowboys Stadium – that to me was an endorsement in itself. Having Hellas as a partner has been a true partnership and we have enjoyed working with them.”

“Our community is extremely proud of it. This stadium is the talk of the panhandle,” added Teal.

During the bidding process, Hellas Construction was able to present the most competitive bid. “Other companies didn’t even come close,” Teal says. “Simply put, Hellas Construction offered the biggest bang for the buck, and we are extremely pleased with what they have done for us.”
