HIRAM, Ohio - October 14, 2021 – Thanks to the generosity of our donors, Hiram College Athletics is excited to unveil new scoreboards and a new scorer's table in Price Gymnasium for the 2021-22 season.
"I would like to personally thank the donors for the Price Gymnasium scoreboard, scorer's table, and shot clocks," Interim Director of Athletics
Scott Pohlman said. "Over the last year and a half, as a result of our generous donors, we have improved the look and feel of our athletics facilities."
"The state of the art scoreboards, scorer's table, and shot clocks in Price Gym were long overdue. This project will not only enhance our student-athlete experience, but fans as well," Pohlman said. "We are excited to see what the future holds as we continue to update our athletic facilities."
The new scoreboards all feature multi-colored LED lighting with navy blue coloring, red accent striping and white captions. The south-side scoreboard will also include stat panels, so fans can keep track of all the action from their seats.
