The Bulloch County Board of Education approved an agreement Thursday for a project to make the softball field Statesboro High School uses at Mill Creek Regional Park more comparable to the baseball field the school uses at the same site. Besides addressing a concern about the equality of facilities for girls’ and boys’ sports, the action commits SHS softball to the county-owned park, operated by the Statesboro-Bulloch County Parks and Recreation Department, for the long term. The agreement with the county includes a 50-year lease.
