Approval for a $7.3M three phase plan to add a Fieldhouse with Turf will break ground within the next three months. The plan is to have the Fieldhouse built in Death Valley and completed by this time next year. HHS will also be opening up the gym and pushing out the lobby to make room for an improved concession stand, restrooms and updated seating.

Finally, and something that is bittersweet to me, but the "Cave" in the basement will be completely gutted and modernized. For anyone who has ever been into the Birds weight-room, it is something from an ancient past. A separate weight-room will be built and something that I absolutely love, will be a public fitness center built alongside the weight-room.

I really think this is an awesome direction by the District and the community that so ardently supports their school.

I will sure be a totally different look walking up to the Football entrance and seeing the Valley virtually filled in. For those of us who coached in the Ft. Thomas football league, and going into that valley after Dale would pull his players off from practice will sure feel odd. There was a lot of sweat and blood left in that valley, but it is sure cool to see the improvements. Seeing what we have done a Campbell County, this is great to see the Birds get to experience the clean improvements!

I'm going to miss Death Valley though. Never did fall on my arse on the way down when off the path :big grin:. A lot of good memories. On to progress and looking forward to the next phase. :Thumbs:
