According to Byrd $100,000 is needed to complete ihe project to the stage where all Fields will be usable. While the new baseball field will be used during the coming season, Byrd said, the football and track stadium will not be in use until the 1984-85 school year. V Funds Needed To Complete Athletic Complex At JK A new athletic complex is under construction at James Kenan High School and head football and track coach Billy ^Byrd said $100,000 will be needed to complete the pro ject. ? "The complex is the kind of thing which can be com pleted with just the bare necessities or as nice as ? money can buy," James ! Kenan High School Coach Billy Byrd said. "But, to complete the plan where all fields are usable-iust the | bare necessities-SlOO.OOO will be needed." According to Byrd the complex will enable the school to locate all its sports activities at the high school, in past years girls Softball and track meets, have been held away from the high school. James Kenan Softball practice and home games are played at the Kenansville Municipal Park or the Warsaw Recrea tion Park. Track meets are l.eld away from James Kenan, however, Byrd added, the high school has won the conference meets four of the past seven years. The completed project will include a new football field i and paved track and a new baseball field. The existing baseball field will be con . verted in the the Softball field kand the existing football field into a practice area for > football and band. Byrd said. ' The new baseball backstop fence has been installed and ? the field seeded. Byrd said. The new diamond will be ' used next season. A fence to ? divide the front of the ! athletic complex from the parking area being installed 1 parking is currently being i installed at the high school. ^Use of the new football field and track area is not ex pected before the 1984 sea son. Byrd added. "To complete the project it will take about $100,000," Coach Byrd said. "And, that is needed to light the football held and track area, pave the track and furnish new bleachers for the homeside. The top priorities of the project are a fence separat ing the fields and parking on the back side of the athletic complex and outdoor rest room facilities. The James Kenan Athletic Boosters Club are working toward the outdoor rest room facilities as their next project. No funds have been approved in the Duplin County Board of Edu cation budget to assist with the completion fo the athletic complex at James Kenan. Byrd explained. The high school athletic department and the Athletic Booster's Club are expected to raise most of the funds needed to complete the project. "When the project is com plete 1 am looking for an increase in sports participa tion," Byrd said. "I think the entire sports program may double, and the facility will help improve student per formance. especially in track. Most of all we want the facility to be something the community and school can take pride in." The project is expected to take about five years to complete. However, Byrd pointed out. the high school athletic department has a limited amount of funds to be used completing the complex. The high school athletic depart ment is self-supporting pro viding new equipment and repairing old equipment and paying game officials and utilities from revenue re ceived at the gates and from season tickets and football programm ad sales. Football is the athletic program's largest money making sport. Byrd said, while basketball will generate enough revenue to pay expenses. Baseball. Softball, tennis and track create no revenue, but cost the athletic program money for equipment, of ficials and transportation. An average year, Byrd esti mated $11,000 to $12,000 would be raised from football at James Kenan. The same year, he said, operating cost for the athletic program would be about $10,000.
