Allison Moyer, Grounds Supervisor at the Collegiate School
in Goochland, VA, and her staff, Tito Fortis, Mark Chambers,
and Jesse Garrant, manage 12 natural grass athletic fields,
two synthetic turf fields, and all of the grounds surrounding
their two campuses (approximately 100 acres). They were
fortunate to have a drone taking photos of the winning field
earlier this year.
