After nearly a year, the renovations of the athletic complex are complete — and include artificial turf, a new press box and a news track surface and new fencing.

“In Covington, we believe that facilities such as this new stadium have a place in education,” said Superintendent Alvin Garrison. “Facilities like this play a role in keeping our students engaged and active in the classroom and on the field.

“Actually this upgraded facility does more than that. I sends a message that our students and community are worth it.”
