When football fans arrive at Bronco Stadium Friday for the Cornerstone Clash, they will notice it has undergone a facelift after Mustang Public Schools replaced the Broncos’ scoreboard.
Erected in the back of the endzone, the new video scoreboard stands 22.5-by-30.5 in diameter.
That includes a 10-millimeter highresolution LED board.
Metro Sign Corp., a local company, handled the project, according to Mustang Athletic Director Robert Foreman. The video board was manufactured by Watchfire Signs LLC.
The scoreboard includes a Fire Sound 500 sound system, which will sit on top of the scoreboard instead of in the press box.
The total cost of the project was $401,583. According to Foreman, $50,000 of that was donated to the athletic department. The total cost to the district was $351,583.
The video board and sound system will be used for all sporting events, band competitions, the Western Days Fun Run, pep assemblies and for curriculum purposes.
“It is a tremendous addition to Bronco Stadium and will greatly enhance any and all activities hosted on our campus,” Foreman said.
Boys’ cross-country secures first victory of season
The Mustang boys’ cross-country team captured their first meet victory of the season Aug. 28 when they hosted the Mustang Harrier Invitational Under the Lights.
The Broncos posted 32 points to win the 5A-6A division. Edmond Memorial came in second with 63 points. Santa Fe South, Edmond North and
Santa Fe South, Edmond North and Piedmont rounded out the top five.
The Broncos had three runners finish in the top six. Ryan Cable led the charge with a time of 18:27. That was good enough for fourth place.
Derrick Wilson and Cole Robertson took fifth and sixth place, respectively.
On the girls’ side, freshmen Avery Frings and Emmerson Hodde led Mustang to a fifth-place finish.
Mustang will compete Friday at Carl Albert Middle School. The meet is scheduled to start at 9:45 a.m.
