Lots of projects include surprises, but, one of the biggest of this summer is the fact that the field house basketball court at BHS is not regulation sized for basketball. Our gym floor, under its current configuration, is approximately 5 feet longer than regulation. So, at the board meeting on June 18 the school board made the decision to reduce the floor to regulation size. With that decision, some other complications related to moving the backboards has brought the floor painting/refinishing project to a stop. Contractors are being hired to move the backboards and then painters can finish the floor project. The new floor will feature black lines and letters outlines, with the natural wood used on the interior portion of the lettering. The new paint job will also add the Central Ozarks Conference logo along with a bison at mid-court (photo taken June 19).
