The Alpena High School baseball team gathered on a crisp Saturday morning to cut the ribbon on a brand‑new scoreboard that now frames the diamond.
Community Unity on the Diamond
The project was made possible by a generous donation from Wolverine State Credit Union, which covered the cost of the equipment, while Omega Electric and Sign Shop handled the installation at no charge.
Head Coach Eric MacKenzie took the opportunity to thank the donors, emphasizing how the upgraded facility will enrich the fan experience and streamline game‑day operations for players and umpires alike.
Representatives from Wolverine State Credit Union joined the team for a group photo, a visual testament to the partnership that blends corporate support with local pride.
The new scoreboard not only adds a modern touch to the field but also reflects a broader trend of community investment in high school sports, signaling strong local backing for the program.
As the sun set over Alpena, the illuminated scoreboard glowed, a reminder that collaborative effort can turn modest resources into lasting improvements for youth athletics.
