Pirates return to semifinals this week.
If you are near Cottage Grove this Saturday, November 17th, drop by Cottage Grove High School and watch our #4 ranked Pirates take on #1 Banks. Game time is 5:30. Cottage Gove built a new high school a few years ago and the football facility is a wonderful venue. Marshfield dispatched #13 North Marion 49-16 in the first round of the state playoffs two weeks ago. Last weekend, the Pirates beat #5 Mazama 28-23. The Pirates hope to pull off the upset to return to the state championship game the following week.
Good news for Phase 2 of the Raise the Roof project – Raising the roof.
We apologize for the lack of updates to our fund raising campaign. But as you are probably aware, tariff wars have impacted a lot of prices, especially steel. We originally thought the roof bids would come in around $200,000. However, when we went out for bids in 2017, the bids were in the mid to high $300,000 range. This fall we once again went out for bids and approached more vendors. Overall, the bids were much lower this year. A Roseburg company came in with the low bid. The estimated total which includes setup work including concrete is $235,000. We feel this is a very workable number and should be able to have a go / no-go decision in December.
Thanks for all of your support.
Phase 3 – ADA access
We are still taking donations for Phase 2 (Raising the Roof) and now, Phase 3. We have already designed the plans for ADA access to the south stands. Let’s make sure those with disabilities can easily get to the covered seats. Here’s an overhead view of what the stadium would look like with the roof and ADA access.
