Lennard High School hoping for court renovation
Above is a rendering of the new surface, proposed for the Lennard High School basketball gym. Painting costs are estimated at $5,000 to $6,000. Boys’ basketball head coach Zarko Stojakovic said the court means a lot to the players and the school because it brings tremendous pride and more attraction to the games. The present floor is about 5 years old and renovation work will hopefully start over the summer. Anyone wishing to donate can email the coach at Zarko.stojakovic@sdhc.k12.fl.us for more information.
