Facility upgrades near completion


Fall practices began on August 24.  The following pictures were taken on August 25.  Most of our summer projects are complete, but we still need to paint the lines on the track.  
These are the new long jump and triple jump pits.
This is the new discus ring.
The boys' soccer team is trying out the new Prograss field for the first time.
Our new Daktronics scoreboard.
Our new Musco lights are controlled by a computer program.
The announcer's booth looks great thanks to the help of the Boosters and a large group of parent volunteers.  It is a tremendous improvement from what it looked like a few weeks ago.  Hopefully we will build a new stadium within the next few years.

We added a fence and cement blocks for our parking spaces.
Boys' soccer and basketball will now have their own team room in the locker room.
The coaches' office also was upgraded with new lockers, paint and floor.
We sanded the gym floor down to bare wood and then repainted it.  It looks brand new.
We took everything out of the training room except the whirlpool and the ice machine.  Everything you see in this picture was either purchased new or was donated by Nike.

June 2009- Excavation of football/soccer field

In June 2009, we broke ground on the new football and soccer field.


































































The softball field looks great. We moved the scoreboard, ran new electrical lines out to the field, built backstops, tore down an old fence and built a new fence and poured three cement slabs. After killing the grass, we tilled the field and brought in several tons of infield dirt.
