Workers from General Acrylics, Mt. Vernon, began painting the basketball and tennis courts and adding other finishing touches last week to the new outdoor facility at Hamilton County Junior/Senior High School. Here, Larry Abernathy, left, and Tim Marks of General Acrylics measure the basketball-court lane to get it ready for painting. The courts, a project of the Hamilton County Schools Foundation, were made possible with the financial help of the Bobbye and Jerry Sloan Hand in Hand Foundation and the Hamilton County Telephone Cooperative Foundation.
