Football season kicks off tomorrow at South Kitsap High School with a new coach and a new turf field.
The Wolves play Central Kitsap, guided by
coach Gavin Kralik, who is profiled in the Kitsap Sun’s
football tab,
Kickoff, 2015. The special section gives highlights on how this
year’s season is shaping up throughout Kitsap and North Mason
counties.
Before the game, district officials will host a dedication of the
new, high tech turf field and track that were built thanks to
donations of more than $500,000 from Kitsap Bank and $150,000 from
author Debbie Macomber and family.
Joe Knowles won’t lose his spot of honor at the school, where people will refer to “Joe Knowles Field at Kitsap Bank Stadium.” The track will be named in honor of the late Dale Macomber, son of Debbie and Wayne Macomber.
“What an opportunity we have — this team of incredible, generous and innovative individuals has come together and forged a partnership that will change this community and inspire its young people for generations to come. What we are doing is truly special,” said Superintendent Michelle Reid.
Central Kitsap High School also has a new turf field, or rather a resurfacing of its turf. North Mason will get a turf field next year, leaving Bremerton the last district waiting in the wings.
Congrats South on your new field. Go Wolves!
