Gym Update-October 11th, 2009

Some serious progress is now being made. The walls in the locker room area are framed, and showers installed. The tile guys are in and have tiled sections of the women's locker room shower area, as well as the visitor's locker room.

Two new scoreboards have been installed in the gym. Also, we have shot clocks on the backboards, which will now light up when the clock expires. See the pictures.....

ACCC Soccer In The News

John O'Kane from The Press has a great article in today's paper about the restoration of intercollegiate soccer at ACCC.

Coach Mike Will Return

Coach Mike will return on September 28th. It will not be as dramatic as McAthur's return to Leyte Gulf, or as important. But I will be bringing donuts, which is something that McArthur never did.

Appendectomy

I'm out of action until at least the end of next week due to my emergency appendectomy on Tuesday morning. (Is there such a thing as a routine appendectomy.) And as a result, the first two games of the 2009 Men's Soccer season are postponed. Makeup dates will be announced shortly.

The Big Dig

While it does not approach many of the great archeological expeditions in size or scope, the excavation of the ACCC Gym locker rooms is still a significant endeavor. Experts from TN Ward have uncovered many artifacts in their search for "The Drain". These artifacts include old pipes, electrical wires, and what appears to be an old (and boring) Health Education textbook, although Carbon-14 testing will need to verify that.

Renovations continue in other parts of the gym. Walls are going up in some cases, and down in other cases.

Gym Renovations Update 8/13

The contractor has begun framing sections of the locker room, office, and trainer areas in the gym.

Holes

Renovations continue in the gym. Contractors have dug several large holes in a frustrating but eventually successful search for the drain lines. All this digging has put the project behind schedule, with the estimated "substantial" completion date now in mid-December.
