For the past several weeks, a significant cleanup effort has been taking place at Jim Scoggins Stadium. Many thanks are due Mark Price (PHS Class of '72), owner and operator of Painter's Plus (http://www.paintersplusonline.com/) and Jimmy Haynes (PHS Class of '67 and son of former coaching legend Jimmy Haynes, Sr.), who have spearheaded the effort.
These two men have donated significant time and resources to ensuring that the stadium is clean and appealing when PHS opens against Pine Forest on September 4th. This effort is part of the broader movement to preserve the legacy of Pensacola High School athletics spearheaded by Rick Fountain, whose forthcoming book about the history of Pensacola High School Football will be released soon. Rick's book will be highlighted on this blog in the coming weeks as the book moves closer to publishing.
We encourage all former Tigers to get involved to help preserve this tremendous legacy as much work needs to be done. For those interested, contact me at tcleonard@cox.net.
Go Tigers!!!
