The Press-Dispatch Sports Wednesday, June 28, 2017 B- 3 MURAL Continued from page 1 Senior men's golf league results On Thursday, June 22, 25 golfers arrived at Prides Creek Golf Course for nine holes of Senior Men's Golf League competition and were divided into five-man teams for the 10 a.m. shot- gun start. The winning team, at 9 under par, was victorious over two teams at 7 under par, one at 6 un- der par, and the remaining team at 4 under par. Steve Pride, Steve Meadors, Terry Werne, Terry Braun and Stan Hels- ley were members of the winning team. Their score- card had eagles on holes 1 and 9, pars on 5 and 6, and birdies on the remaining five holes. This team was definitely the odds-on fa- vorites, with some of the best senior golfers in the county on board. But the luck of the draw from a deck of cards allows every- one a chance to win from week to week. Golfers of all ages are welcome to participate on Thursdays at 10 a.m. for friendly competition. Save the Date!! 2017 Jr. Golf Camp July 19-21 • 9 am - 11am Located at Prides Creek Golf Course Open to all boys and girls entering grades 4-8 Sponsored by Petersburg Kiwanis Club Registration forms available at Prides Creek Golf Course For more information, call 812-354-3059 bleachers," Smith said. "The vantage point lines up perfectly, I would say, middle bleachers, third seat. That's the vantage the whole composition is built towards." Smith has already be- gun working on the mural in the Pike Central High School gymnasium, a proj- ect that he expects will take about three weeks to complete. "I would say it'll be 12-hour days," Smith said. "As soon as we finish Pike, we've got to go to Perry (Central), and as soon as we finish Perry (Central), we've got to go to Boonville Middle School, and that's all the murals for our sum- mer run. We always take a break at the end of summer because we're working all through while the kids are out." Smith – and Hewig – are keeping the details of the mural in the high school gymnasium somewhat of a secret – for now. "I'd kind of like to keep that under wraps until he gets it done," Hewig said. "But he has a totally differ- ent design planned, I can tell you. It's going to blow the socks off people this season. It's pretty amaz- ing what he's got planned." Smith described the mural – which will stretch from the drop ceiling all the way to the floor on the northern end of the gym, where team photos of the school's sectional winners have been displayed – as a "wall of knights, charging straight at you." "I've kind of been look- ing forward to this one be- cause, other than Castle High School, this will be the biggest composition we've done," Smith said. "Castle High School's prob- ably another 75 feet longer than this one, or more, but this one, the gym is actu- ally beautiful, I think, and I've been in a lot of schools. I don't know what it is about it – it's got a touch of mod- ern, a touch of old, the col- ors are good, and I just can't wait to see what this mural looks like when it's all finished." Smith said that he will also be videotaping the en- tire time he is working on the mural. "So there will be a time- lapse in full of that project," Smith said. Hewig said that the pho- tos of the school's sec- tional winning teams will be moved to the middle school cafeteria, which al- so serves as the concession area for the adjacent high school gymnasium. "We're going to make it kind of a Hall of Fame through there," Hewig said. "Some of those pic - tures were so high you couldn't even read them. You couldn't see the pic- tures. We're going to put them all at a level where you can actually see the faces better and you can see everything going on. We're not altering the pic- tures. We're just going to make sure they're hung up – at the same level – so everybody can see them." Hewig said that his goal in commissioning the mu- rals is not only to, hope- fully, help create more of a homecourt advantage for the sports that regu- larly use the gym – boys' and girls' basketball and volleyball – but to instill school pride among all student-athletes in every sport, as well as the gener- al student population. "I've always felt that if somebody feels good with what they have and take pride in it, then they'll feel better to play better," Hewig said. "That was kind of something that I wanted to do." "The middle school gym, you'd walk in and it was just a plain gym," Hewig added. "Well, now when you walk in, the mural just chang- es the feeling of the gym. It makes it feel like their home now." Hewig noted that the high school gymnasium is used by just about every sport at some point and time during the school year, and that it also hosts school assemblies, as well as graduation. "It's a place where all our students come for as- semblies and stuff like that – pep assemblies – and gym classes and for graduation," Hewig said. "I wouldn't say it's about boys' basketball, or bas - ketball in general. At any point of the year, every sin- gle sport's in that gym us- ing it at some time, wheth- er it be soccer, football, basketball, wrestling, base- ball – everybody's in there. I just wanted a place where all our student-athletes go, and that's the main place where all our student-ath- letes are going to go. So I thought that'd be a cool ex- perience for them."
