This
past spring, a generous donation was given to the football program
by the STVM football class of 1981. As a way to remember that
great class of 1981, Joe Harvey, Craig Mears, Tim Wallace, Dave
Bittner and Chip Hilling decided to buy the naming rights to
the varsity locker room. Through the 1981 STVM football teams'
donations as well as other generous private donations, the locker
room has been transformed in to one of the finest high school
locker rooms around.
During
the construction process, all of the original lockers were ripped
out, the carpet taken up and plywood walls replaced with new
dry wall. There were many people who worked diligently on this
project throughout the past months who cannot be thanked enough.
Here
are some quick facts on the new updates as well as some photos:
