🏈 From 11-man to 8-man football… some things had to change, but not without honoring the past.
When our original goal posts, built by Otto Wollenburg, came down, a piece of Tri County history could have been lost. Instead, thanks to the vision of our Head of Maintenance, Kevin Weichel, that history lives on in a powerful new way.
When asked to stand in front of the sculptures for a photo, Kevin humbly said no, it was never about him. It was about Otto. So instead, we gathered Otto’s descendants who now walk the halls of Tri County… a full circle moment you won’t want to miss. 💙💛 click here to read the full article https://www.tricountyschools.org/article/2853501
