With help from Senator William Hasebroock. the new football field was dedicated at the first home game against Logan View. Many of the former W.P.H.S. football greats were honored at that time. West Point went on to win the game 14-6; the field treated the Cadets kindly with five home victories. The field was christened in a proper manner and the infamous fences appropriately kept opposing teams on the same field as the “mighty Cadets.

I Athletic Banquet 68 King Steve Queen Cherie Sports Complex — % First Year Of Action Mr. Cornwell received a special award from the WP club in commemoration of and appreciation for his three years as Athletic Director. The sports section of the 1977 CADET was dedicated to him because of his many efforts in the development of an outstanding athletic facility. Two years after the opening of the new West Point Junior-Senior High School, the athletic field was ready for competition. The long awaited football and track facility became a reality with the first football game of the 1976 season against Logan View on September 17 and the first girls’ and boys' track meets in March. 1977. Perhaps no one had greater anticipation than Mr. Cornwell, Cadet Track Coach for the past eleven years in a school system which never had a track and field facility until this year. Analogous to playing football with no field or basketball with no gym. Mr. Cornwell coached many fine track teams with no home track for practice or interscholastic competition. Rusty Adams presented a special plaque to Mr. Cornwell who The first football game played on the new WPHS field. retired as Athletic Director. I i i i ! 70 Mike, getting made up.
