This week’s football field design brings a new piece of Oiler pride to the 50-yard line and it looks incredible!
A huge thank-you goes to members of **Mike Moxey’s maintenance crew—Kenny, Dylan, and Jared**. They spent the entire week painting, mowing, and trimming in extreme temperatures to prepare the field for Friday night.
We also want to recognize **Virgil and Curtis**, who also worked hard addressing the cooling and maintenance issues throughout our campus. this week. Their work may not always be as visible as the field, but it is just as important to keeping our schools running.
We are fortunate to have employees who take tremendous pride in our facilities and work hard every day for our students, staff, and community.
Outstanding work, gentlemen—and welcome to the field, **Oil Dan!**
