Got some pics to share of Mercer's new facility. The pictures don't really do it justice, but you will get the idea of the facility though it lacks in conveying the breadth of it.

 

I've seen alot of high school facilities in the Commonwealth and beyond, but probaly can't name one that combines the quality and options this one has. There will be some with bigger weight rooms, but few as well set up with the same quality of products this one has. This weight room is set up to train athletes and train them in efficiently in masse. Some (Belfry's comes to mind) have indoor practice areas, but not at this size. The pictures are taken from a second story running track on which one end will have a cardio circuit eventually put into place.

 

Facilities don't make a program, but they do instill a sense of pride in the players and a larger sense that the community and school is willing to support them in their athletic goals.

If there aren't any pictures on here can someone help me learn how to attached embedded images on here please?

Indoor practice facility... wow

 

Mercer has no excuse not to succeed.

Wow, we're not worthy, lol.

I know that Mercer and Corbin have indoor facilities. Who else also share's this plesure?

That place looks awesome, thanks for posting it.

 

And for the record, Belfry doesn't have an indoor practice facility. I didn't know any high school in KY had one.

Corbin has an indoor facility. I think it's called the Ossie Burch Indoor Practice Facility...or something like that. It's a nicer facility than Mercer's I think.

 

It must be nice to be able to afford something like what Mercer and Corbin have.

Have been in Corbin's and in Mercer's. Mercer's is better, but not a bad category to come second in. I really don't know alot of other schools in the Midwest that have indoor facilities. Columbian HS in Tiffin, OH has one along with a weight room that is over 8000 sq. ft. (supposedly the largest one at any high school, but I cannot confirm that). Massillon Washington is in the phase of fund raising for one. I know that you can find some in Texas and I'm sure there are more elsewhere, but they just don't come to mind.

Very nice facility, I would hate to see the actual field.

Well our new field wont be completed for a couple of years. Since the merger Mercer now has two nice fields. But, there isn't nothing special about them. There wont be enough bleachers to hold the fans this season. But, the new stadium we are getting will be about like Danville's with the huge Home side seating area. Mercer plays Boyle on september 15th and I predict atleast 8,000 for that game. Probably the game of the week. But the indoor facility is awesome. We have several generous boosters in the area that want to see a champion produced with the merger of all the city and county kids. They are still a work in progress but progressing very well.

Great facilities!! If this doesn't get the kids excited nothing will. Mercer fans should be proud!!

I seen the outside when we scrimmaged them, now i know that the inside is just as nice as the outside.
