Weight Room Beefed Up at D-West
At Doniphan West schools the weight rooms at both the high school and the middle school were in need of serious upgrades, but the budget would not allow for the new equipment. "However with the ingenuity of the staff and a little hard work by coaches and administration, both weights rooms got a serious 'face lift,' and all for around $2,700," said Athletic Director Jim Howard. The upgrades included three new squat racks, two new platforms, new paint, professional-grade mirrors, two new benches, three new adjustable benches, more weights and bars. "The staff donated time and money to paint the room," Howard said. "All of the new equipment was from Garden Plain High School, who just spent over $20,000 for new equipment. They sold it to Doniphan West for pennies on dollars, and we only had to drive and pick it all up. The mirrors were bought through a whole sale company, and installed using money raised by coaches. All of the art work will be done by high school art students, which will save the school even more."
