Wabash District #348 superintendent Dr. Chuck Bleyer told the school board Monday night that after a variety of delays in the Riverview Stadium renovation project, there’s finally some good news. Bleyer said the surface on the all-weather track will be put down starting on Monday. After the surface is in place, Bleyer said no one will be allowed on the track or turf field for three weeks while the new track cures. Originally, the track surface wasn’t scheduled to be put down until later this fall. Bleyer said after the opening football game was moved to Marshall, that puts the first game on track for Friday, September 16th…

But, Bleyer did offer a brief bit of caution…

Even with moving the first game of the season to Marshall, Mt. Carmel will stay have 5 home football games during the regular season this year.
