Liberty North Fieldhouse:
Seating: The seating at North could be mistaken for a college arena. Walking in, you have the option to either go higher or lower depending on the availability of its 2000 seats. Surrounding the middle level is a walking track, allowing people to stand and watch.
Scoreboard: Liberty North’s scoreboard is like no other high school within a 100 mile radius. It has a 10-by-six foot jumbo-tron on both sides that can show the game live, instant replay and advertisments. It also displays the number of points and fouls for each player.
Court: Liberty North’s court compares to a Division One college. All courts are obviously the same wood, but the paint is much different than what is used at Cokely. The wood inside the three-point line is darker than the main wood but matches the eagle at center court for a classy effect.
Cokely Fieldhouse:
Seating: The seating in Cokely does not fit as much as Liberty North but more seating is unnecessary. The bleachers are right on the action giving the game a more personal atmosphere compared to that of Liberty North’s fieldhouse.
Scoreboard: Liberty High School’s Cokely Fieldhouse has two classic flat scoreboards hanging from the wall with the new Octosound speaker hanging from the ceiling. The scoreboard’s old school look combined with the Octosound speaker’s new school look gives the Cokely Fieldhouse its own unique appearance.
Court: Cokely Fieldhouse renovations over the summer changed the midcourt logo along with the baseline and the pads on the wall. The new court compliments the new Blue Jay logos all around the fieldhouse well.
