Coach Dean Finally gets a field

The Letcher County Board of Education has approved a plan to spend $1 million on the construction of a baseball field, concession stand and two dugouts at Letcher County Central High School.

Outstanding, Coach Dean, players and community deserve it.

I applaude the coach for choosing natural turf. A little more work involved, but well worth it...

I just wish Superintendent Craft and Board, would have acted sooner on getting this field completed, for Coach Dean and the community.

 

Prior to construction of the school, grading was ready on the field, until it was used to store/stage construction materials and on-site trailer.

Im just glad the will have a field they can call there own for the first time since the early 90's of course I mean Whitesburg not LCC

About time. These kids and Coach Dean have worked hard the past couple seasons and deserve a quality field.

Good job Coach Dean Get something down this coming year.

So how does a school qualify for these Division of Facilities Management monies?

 

It's great that they got the field but what does a school have to do in order to get money for this? How do they determine who gets what money?

Congratulations to Coach Bryan Dean and the Letcher County Central baseball community.....and the Letcher County BOC is to be commended.:thumb:

I was at the championship game of the 14th regional tournament at Perry County Central this year and talked to several LCC fans after the Cougar's victory. They were one happy bunch of people, and you could see the pride in all their faces. One guy told me that they had a great group of young players in their system and the school's baseball future looked really bright, that several of their key players on this year's team were 9th and 10th graders. I think they have the right guy to guide them into that future.

Add this to their football stadium and it would be hard for anyone to match their athletic facilities.

Will be a great place to come for Football, Basketball, and now Baseball. I would say winning the Regional tourney helped their funding out too! Congrats to the Cougars and Coach Dean, great coach and person.

Great for Coach Dean, his staff, and the community. Their is nothing prettier than baseball being played on a beautiful field.

I applaude the coach for choosing natural turf. A little more work involved, but well worth it...

 

Don't think he chose natural turf...
