Stockman Bank president Garth Kallevig, left, presents a check to Roger Merritt of Sidney High School. The donation will help fund the new scoreboard at the school.
Sidney Eagle football fans will enjoy a brand new LED scoreboard this fall. The current scoreboard was installed in the early 90s and was failing mechanically with lights continually needing to be replaced and the control options limited compared to the new technology offered today.
With the old scoreboard no longer dependable, Sidney High School needed to look at purchasing an updated board. Sidney football fans wanted a new scoreboard that accommodates LED lighting, a highly-illuminated area that makes the viewing of the scoreboard clear from nearly anywhere in the stadium. Additionally, this scoreboard will be used for track meets, where both a running time clock for races, as well as the events in progress will be displayed. Only a new scoreboard with high-intensity lighting could provide this service during the daylight hours of track meets.
What the High School sought was a partnership in the purchase of this scoreboard. As usual, Sidney businesses showed their community and school spirit by providing the sponsorships necessary to purchase the $80-85,000 board. The Scoreboard Project is a community project. Without local business support, the new scoreboard on Swanson Field would not have been possible.
