Prairie gridiron gets facelift
Anyone familiar with outdoor activities at Prairie High School over the years probably also is familiar with with occasional football games played in mud, canceled band practices and other inconveniences brought on by the Iowa weather.
Those problems should be history soon, thanks to a large-scale renovation of John Wall Field that’s scheduled to be finished before next football season.
It’s the latest phase in a series of facilities improvements at Prairie, where upgrades for the baseball and softball programs are nearing completion and a 1,000-seat concert hall has been in use for a couple of years.
"A lot of fantastic things are going on," said Rocky Bennett, associate principal and activities director at Prairie, citing cooperative efforts by the College Community school board, the Prairie booster club and "many, many others. I can’t say enough about all they’ve done."
