The all-weather track at Potts Memorial Field
will be completely resurfaced in the coming
weeks. Athletic director Dave Bates said that
workmen could start as soon as Monday,
August 9 with the removal of the old track
prior to the application of the new surface,
which will then require a period of time
before the new track is lined. Bates
estimated the entire project, weather
permitting, could take between two and three
weeks and requests that the public stay off
the track once barricades and signs are
posted until the project is completed.

‘Volley For the Cure’ at Auburn High
October 5
October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The Auburn High School
volleyball team will host a “Volley For the Cure” match against Sangamon Valley
Tuesday, October 5. The evening will start with a freshmen match at 5 p.m., followed by
junior varsity at 6:15 p.m., then the varsity. “Volley For the Cure” was created as a way to
honor and celebrate the heroic fight against breast cancer. “Volley For the Cure” is a
registered trademark of Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Several activities will take place
October 5. Players will be wearing pink jerseys and the game will be played with a pink
volleyball. Raffle tickets will be sold for a chance to win the game ball, which will be
raffled off between the JV and varsity matches. The game ball will be autographed by

will have the same logo as the player uniforms. The artwork is a volleyball in the

Breast cancer survivors are asked to call the high school office at 438-6817 or the junior
high office at 628-3414 by Thursday, September 30 if they plan on attending. Those who
attend will be escorted onto the floor by players between the JV and varsity matches. A
moment of silence will be observed to honor the survivors and their families along with
anyone who has had their life touched in some way by cancer. A memory wall will also
be placed in the main lobby to honor those who have or are battling breast cancer.
Please sign the wall with a message or in memory of a loved one. The national anthem
will be performed by Luan Austin, high school math teacher. The public is invited to
paint the gym pink October 5. All proceeds from the evening will go to the Susan G.
Komen Foundation. Donations can be made at the door. Pink T-shirts can be ordered

will be placed. Checks should be made payable to Auburn High School.
