The End of an Era: Last Game in "The Dunn", TONIGHT
Charlestown High
School is turning another page in its history books, as tonight the last
basketball game will be played in the facility's 55 year old gymnasium,
bearing the name of former Pirate boys basketball coach William "Bill" Dunn
since January 10, 1987. The Bill Dunn Sports Arena, as well as
the gym itself, holds more memories and traditions in CHS athletics than
anyone could ever begin to record. It is with great bitter-sweet
emotion that Pirate fans bid farewell to their long time home of basketball,
wrestling, and volleyball tonight, as our Pirates take its floor for
competition for the final time against the Floyd Central Highlanders.
Tonight's game concludes home basketball competition in Dunn Arena; as early
this coming summer it will be torn down to make room for the completion of
the remainder of the new Charlestown High School facility, including a
3,000+ seat main arena and adjacent double-auxiliary gymnasium. The
new basketball arena, planned to be called "The Pit" based on its design, is
planned to be open for graduation this June and become the new home of
decades of new traditions and memories of Pirate and Lady Pirate
competition. Tonight's final home contest will coincide with Senior
Night festivities of the 2009-10 team while also extending an invitation to
all former Pirate basketball players in conjunction with our Farewell to
Dunn Arena. The JV game will tip at 6pm followed by the final varsity
match-up versus Floyd Central at approximately 7:15 pm. Pirate
fans, don't miss your final opportunity tonight to re-live your Dunn Arena
memories and take part in its farewell ceremonies.
