People over 40 can appreciate the great changes in school facilities over the years. In sports, the top Soperton football team played at the old field, now a part of Jean Gillis Park. Outstanding basketball was played in McArthur Gymnasium. The first stands at the Bobby Driggers Stadium were built from a loan co-signed by several football boosters, but the Boosters Club worked a number of years to pay it off. Wayne Sumner expanded the old field house next to the canning plant, then later he played a leading role in the construction of the field house at Driggers Stadium. The Boosters also built the curb around the track. In later years, the track was paved, the field was sodded, new visitors stands, concessions, and bathrooms were added, new lights. There's one of the finest gyms in this area. Baseball facilities are lighted and in good shape. Many people have been responsible for creating today's football facilities and supporting school athletics and recreation sports. Be proud!
