Old Gym to Become Slightly Less Old

One of the bits of news I picked up while trolling around Shafter High last week was that Athletic Director Doug Thompson is working to spruce up the old gym. I don't have an exact time line, but I heard about three improvements expected to come in the near future: used, but functional replacement scoreboards, electric ceiling heaters for morning practices and early tournament games, and a repainted and refinished floor. This last one is especially important, because the plan is to widen the court by a foot on each side, which would make the corner three a much more viable option. Sadly, the painting of yours truly is probably gone, but otherwise this is great news.
