DCHS basketball fans will notice new scoreboards in the gym thanks to the support of FirstBank.
Principal Randy Jennings along with Tiger and Lady Tiger Coaches John Sanders and Danny Fish invited Scott Garrett and Casey Midgett out Wednesday afternoon to formally thank them for the new scoreboards, which were provided by FirstBank and recently installed for the basketball season. Garrett is the Market President for FirstBank in this area and Midgett is the Financial Center Manager in Smithville.
Lady Tiger Coach Fish said the new scoreboards are very much appreciated.
“They were kind enough to provide our new scoreboards. Anytime we’re able to get the community involved in our facilities like this it’s a good thing for us and for them. We’re very excited about our new scoreboards. I think it had been 1985 since we had new scoreboards. Now everything is wireless with the operation of the scoreboards complete with backboard lighting attached to the timer and clock. We’re very excited for this partnership,” said Coach Fish.
“We recognize the hard work that these coaches, players, and teachers put into this every day. Casey and I wanted to give a little something back. We both went to school here and played sports here and we’re glad we can be a part of it to make the experience a little bit better,” said Garrett.
