(Osgood, Ind.) - A great addition to Jac-Cen-Del athletics is officially up and running.
The Ripley County Chamber of Commerce hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony at the new Jac-Cen-Del auxiliary gym. The new gym will be used for additional practice space, as well as game space for the athletic department.
The project was completed by Bruns-Gutzwiller, Inc.
Last Saturday, Jac-Cen-Del and Rising Sun held a boys middle school basketball game for the inaugural game in the auxiliary gym. The day also featured a tour of the new facility and the unveiling of the first-ever Jac-Cen-Del Athletic Hall of Fame displays.
