Seeing is believing.
As Dothan High athletes, coaches, administrators and city and state dignitaries took part in the official groundbreaking for a new athletics facility on campus Monday morning, a bulldozer was already clearing land for the project well underway.
Behind the new fieldhouse will be a new 70-yard turf field for the football team to practice on and to match artificial turf installed at Rip Hewes Stadium and in other high school stadiums that have gone to turf fields. The track next to current fieldhouse and football practice field will also be resurfaced, enabling small meets to be held and the teams to have a rubberized surface to practice on.
The Dothan City Schools board approved an $8.8 million bond for the project, which is expected to be completed by the end of 2023 or the first of 2024. “When we consolidated in 2019, the only sports with their own locker rooms on campus were football, baseball, softball and boys basketball,” Noble said.
“It’s a long time coming for our track program and our girls soccer program to have a place to call their own. And whether it’s February, December or July, it’s their locker room and it’s their space and they don’t have to worry about somebody coming in after them.”
