(New Carlisle, IN) - Tonight a new football season gets underway at New Prairie High School.  New head coach, Casey McKim, and a revamped Cougar offense will make their debuts.  Another new addition is a state-of-the-art scoreboard, complete with a fifteen-foot LED screen and surround sound.

Speaking of the new LED screen, New Prairie athletic director Ben Bachman states, "It allows us to run ads, market our programs, market our student athletes.  And, the great thing about it, we believe it's going to have many uses down the road, once we understand all of its capabilities".

The new scoreboard was just installed this month.  The program has also added a new inflatable tunnel for players to enter the field through before each game.

New Prairie hosts the La Porte Slicers football team tonight.  Tickets are sold out, but you can catch the action beginning at 6:45p on 96.7 The Eagle.
