The Ricky McAllaster Memorial Lacrosse Classic

Attention :Wilmington Island Community Elison and I have been searching for a solution to the deadly Wilmington Island Rd. curve at Wilmington Plantation for th...e past 10 years since our son Ricky was killed on that corner. This summer we met a retired DOT engineer from Florida who has patented a lighting system that is made specifically for dangerous curves such as this one. In the photos attached you can get some idea of the concept and the attached presentation shows how it has worked extremely effectively at a dangerous curve in Jacksonville. This is our correspondence with the engineer : As discussed, attached is the conceptual layout plan of the Internally Illuminated Raised Pavement Markers (iiRPMs). The plan depicts using iiRPMs with single direction white on the right side of the driver and yellow on the left side of the driver. We place the iiRPMs inside the travel lane at a spacing of 40 feet approaching the curve and then at 20 feet inside the curve then transitioning out to 40 foot spacing after departing the curve. The attached photo and plan for a project in Jacksonville represents the proposed layout. As mentioned, our innovative product made the news in Jacksonville. Please check out the following video link: http://www.firstcoastnews.com//fdot-testing-s/77-461527126 This project in Jacksonville was experiencing a crash problem. A total of 56 crashes occurred in the 5 years before we installed the iiRPMs and the two years after we installed the iiRPMs, we had only 1 crash. In addition, people tend to slow down slightly, considering it is a low speed roadway. Citizens in the area loved the lights and requested FDOT to place them on the entire roadway. This information has been passed on to Pat Farrell, your county commissioner, for his review. His initial reaction was very positive. Please feel free to share your thoughts with him. This is a fairly inexpensive solution to a problem that has been in place for decades. Thanks in advance for your support. Dick and Elison McAllaster

Renovation and expansion of the Ricky McAllaster Memorial Lacrosse Field at BC has started. Widening to NCAA regulation size, upgraded irrigation system, more topsoil and new sod, plus lights. After 10 years the legend continues to shine.

GREAT #10 ceremony today. Congratulations Michael Mowers...wear it proud. Also thanks to Aiden Coleman for honoring Ricky this season. Very special for us.

BIG IMPROVEMENTS are planned for the Ricky McAllaster Lacrosse Field this summer and they need your help! The lacrosse parents and fans are raising money to exp...and the field and light it. The field will expand to a full 60 yard regulation width, with new irrigation, additional topsoil coming from the football practice field, new sod on the entire field, and laser leveled. The new energy efficient MUSCO lights will allow our program to use the field in the evenings too. The initial estimate for the work was $300,000 but through some shrewd negotiating on the part of BC, we have reduced the project cost to $200,000. We already have $155,000 committed thanks to the help of a matching gift from the Ricky McAllaster Foundation and Benedictine. That leaves only $44,500 to raise to complete the field and lights. Pledges can be spread out over 5 years and the full 5 year pledge can be counted immediately in order to complete the project this summer and have it ready by the fall. Please contact Dick McAllaster at 912-658-7901 or Greg Markiton ’92 at [email protected] to obtain a pledge card.

BC and The Ricky McAllaster Foundation are each pledging $50000 (a total of $100000) as a match for the other BC parents to complete the Ricky McAllaster Memori...al Lacrosse Field to regulation width with 70 ft. lights on the entire field. The field will be expanded, irrigation updated, additional topsoil from the football practice field, new sod on the entire field, and laser leveled. The lights will provide 30 candle power on the entire field. The initial estimate for the work was $300000 but through some shrewd negotiating on the part of BC, we have reduced the project cost to $200000. That leaves $100000 to raise to complete the field. Pledges can be spread out over 5 years and the full 5 year pledge can be counted immediately in order to complete the project this summer and have it ready by the fall. Please contact either Greg Markiton at BC 3130261 or me on my cell 6587901 to obtain a pledge card. Thanks in advance for your support. Ricky's legacy continues to build. See more
