Old Boiler Goes
The 60 year old 35,000 pound steam boiler that heated both the high school and middle school was removed by Henson Robinson Co. April 26 with a little help from Custom Crane Service. Director of Maintenance Kevin Landrus explained the 4 million BTU boiler had become unreliable and was inefficient. The high school and middle school will each have new systems with twice the efficiency and comfort as part of the HVAC systems upgrade in Sullivan schools over the summer.

Lady Redskins face Meridian
Madison Wall threw a very good game and kept the Lady Redskins in the game, but fell to a very good Meridian team 6-1. Hitters faced an all-conference pitcher and didn’t have a great deal of success, but they kept battling until the end scoring one run and having the bases loaded in the 7th inning. The JV game went a little better with a 5-1 win. Abby Elzy pitched great.
