DCHS Gets New Scoreboard and Play Clocks at Football Field

A new scoreboard and play clocks have been installed at the DeKalb County High School football field.
The play clocks on either end of the field and the new 24’ x 8’ scoreboard at the north end zone were funded thanks to the support of Wilson Bank & Trust, Dr. Timothy Tobitt of the Good Health Family Clinic, Middle Tennessee Natural Gas, Liberty State Bank, and the Board of Education.
DCHS Tiger Football Coach Steve Trapp said the new scoreboard and play clocks are very much appreciated.
“Its an upgrade that has been needed and I think visually its going to be an impact on our crowd. It’s a 24’ x 8’ scoreboard. Its a lot bigger than the size of our old scoreboard. It has some extra features on it. It’s wireless so we won’t be tripping on wires and it has LED’s so we won’t be using light bulbs. Typically that scoreboard is used for fields that have a track because it sets way off the field but this scoreboard sets right by the fence. It will be right in our face. Hopefully we can light up that home side all year long,” said Coach Trapp.
“We want to thank this group of local business leaders and our school system for helping the DeKalb County Football program make this purchase. This really all started with our boosters getting some prices on what it would cost to replace our existing scoreboard. Through that process they figured out some ways and opportunities to get some help. Through the contributions of these businesses, Wilson Bank & Trust, Dr. Timothy Tobitt of the Good Health Family Clinic, Middle Tennessee Natural Gas, Liberty State Bank, and the school board helping us out as well, we were able to get all this done without any booster funds so they (booster club) can use their monies for other things for our football program,” added Coach Trapp.
