Area businessman Jim Carell announced today that he will fund the building of concessions, outdoor bathrooms, a turf football field and a track to support the JPII athletic program. Mr. Carell was at JPII on the occasion of the blessing of new weight equipment he had just helped the school purchase and made the surprise announcement to the coaches and players at the end of the ceremony.

He also funded the new state of the art weight room equipment.

Mr. Carell seems to have a generous heart and JPII will start producing a better product from his generosity.

Nice! Very Nice! As for field turf I will say as good as it looks, is it's nasty to play on. :popcorneater:

I'm with you on all the points. Very nice and generous gesture, but keep the real grass.

 

The key question: once they have a proper building for the concession stand, will they continue to serve Center Point BBQ?

    • Im asking everyone to keep roy whited and his family in your prayers. Coach whited won back to back state championships at white county in 98-99. He is very well liked and respected in this area. For those of you that dont know he went missing 3 days ago. No one knows where he is. His truck was found in a rural part of the county. Thanks again. We are all very concerned. 
    • West would be a good team to get behind if they can pull it off again like last year. That championship game last year was awesome. 
    • I say that because he stepped out of a MUCH better situation on his own than he would see at least his first 3 years at DCA and it would take at least that much to bring him back to coaching. There are other fish in the sea, but again money talks. Need to fix the girls hoops too. Now I'll try again. Who has Pierce locked in for his staff? Hearing a McGavock man but not the Iceman.
    • I’ve heard mostly good things from the gridiron. Lots of optimism. It sounds like the portal has mostly helped, though there are a few expected defections. Comeback year!
    • Rudesell 1 year at Crockett. Coach Tate 2 weeks a Bradford. South Gibson supposedly going with jcs middle school coach. Which isn’t who I thought would get it, I know the top 2 was between him and Obion girls head coach.
