The Branson Trilakes News offers a report on a $7M facility at Branson High School

Branson’s wrestling program is scheduled to move into its new home as early as midway through next season, while the Pirates’ and Lady Pirates’ football, soccer and track programs will all follow suit throughout 2013.

Groundbreaking will take place next week for Branson’s activities center, with the 30,196-square-foot, two-story, multi-purpose fieldhouse slated to be completed Dec. 12. The facility will be located directly west of the high school and serve as a finishing touch to seven-year-old Branson Stadium.

The Pirates’ football and soccer programs will host games and matches in the Fall.

The Branson soccer pitch at the Middle School has been described as the finest natural surface pitchs in the region by multiple sources I’ve talked to. Here’s hoping the new facility can match the quality of that surface.

CENTRAL OZARK CONFERENCE
Nixa and Ozark are the remaining undefeated teams in the Large School Division and the Conference Title will likely be determined on Thursday when the Eagles host Ozark. That assumes they both take care of business this evening. If Ozark wins at Neosho, they will be celebrating Head Coach Tom Davidson’s 600th career win.

In the Small School Division, Logan-Rogersville visit to Marshfield will carry the extra weight of District expectations. Marshfield is coming off their Tourney win at Willard and LogRog is their toughest rival in the District. After winning 1-0 on April 12th, the Jays lost by the same score to the Wildcats at the Branson Tournament on April 16th. Did I mention the Webster County derby aspect too? This is the third meeting this year with at least one more likely ahead, in the District title game.

Last year’s game went to PK’s, won 2-1 by Ozark. Carthage needs to win on Tuesday (or whenever the game get’s scheduled if the rain continues) to be part of the conversation.
