Crook County High School students rebuilding dugouts at Davidson Field

Davidson Field is currently a construction zone. Every morning, for a few hours, students from Crook County High School’s Construction 3 class, led by instructor Ron Berg, plug away at a project they expect to endure for multiple decades – just like the structures they are helping replace. This past spring, the students began what will be a year-long project to replace the aging dugouts at Davidson Field, structures that, according to local records, were built around 1947. “From the get-go, the kids have been involved in the planning process,” Berg said, noting that work began in the spring with drawing plans, determining the necessary materials and calculating costs. “Last spring, we came up with an overall plan.” They ultimately came up with a project that includes replacement of the dugouts and the addition of bullpens on each side of the field. The students also built a kiosk near the bleachers before the school year concluded. This fall, work has shifted to the dugouts.
