Stadium update - Friday, June 13

Star assistant sports editor Gabe Whisnant dropped by Veterans Field and Keeter Stadium on the way into work on Friday afternoon to take a look at the upgrades. Many have said it all along, but there's no doubt Shelby will have one of the top high school/legion facilities around when the renovation is completed. According to Southeast Regional and World Series committee co-chairman, Eddie Holbrook, the stadium is about a week away from being completed.

Look for a story on the renovation in Sunday's Star and online at www.legionworldseries.com and www.shelbystar.com. Here are a few of the pictures Gabe took on Friday, June 13.
