SPORTING SCENE Schools Getting Better With Wooden Gym Floors Brunswick County's high school athletic facilities, already among the best in the state, are getting better. With school out for the summer, the Raleigh-based company, R.L. Dresser, is installing new wooden :~ floors in the gymnasiums at West, North and South. Bill Turner, assistant superinten dent of operations for Brunswick County Schools, says work is under way at North and South and will begin soon at West. All three floors should lie completed by the middle of August. The pine floors will replace the dirty surfaces that have seen countless gym classes, basketball games and volleyball matches since the three high schools opened in 1972. The old floors have the feel of a concrete slab with a thin, rubbery coat ing on top. They have exceeded their life expectancy and it shows. They're wrinkled and hold two decades worth of dirt and sweat. R.L. Dresser, the company that built the floor at N.C. State University, is changing all that. The three floors will cost us SI94.(MX), money that could have been spent on text books and teachers. But the S194,(KK) is money well spent. The new floors will benefit the high schools in many ways. When completed, the Shallotte. Southport and Leland communities will be able to take the same pride in the gyms as they do in the new high school football stadiums constructed over the past three years. There's also the "floor envy" syndrome. Most of the other schools in this area already have nice, wooden floors. Brunswick County needs to keep pace with its neighbors. "A lot of the schools we play have wooden floors, and we just want to try to get ahead of the other schools," Turner said. "After going to the other schools throughout the state, we felt the wooden floors were the way to go." Amen. As much as I enjoy a good game on the blacktop, basketball was meant to be played on wooden floors. The squeak of a sneaker and thump of a dribbled basketball are part of the game. As Turner points out, "The atmosphere will be entirely different." Most important, the forgiving wooden surfaces should minimize leg in juries to student-athletes. The old floors had bubbles here and there. One wrong move and...OUCH! To keep costs down, the new floors are being installed on top of the old floors. Layers of foam padding are being placed over the existing surfaces before the narrow pine strips are put in place. The floors are then sanded, painted and varnished. "It's fascinating to watch them do it," Turner said. "It's certainly a craft." Local basketball coaches have been pleading for years for something new, and they've been appeased. It's the latest move in a long line of im provements to local athletic facilities. The gym walls at the high schools were painted white two years ago to make the gyms look brighter and seem bigger. Now the old floors are being replaced. Turner says new lighting in the gyms is next on the list of improve ments. The existing lights, like the old floors, have been around since 1972. The gyms are kind of dark, and the old lights burn a lot of energy. Turner isn't sure when the lights can be upgraded. "We only have so much money and we're trying to do the best with what we have." Aren't we all? The new floors are a good start.
