New Fields & Futures Video Introduced at Chevy Bowtie Ball

Dec 18, 2014

When you ask OKCPS Athletic Director Keith Sinor why he took on the job of athletic director in 2011, he will tell you he wants to “help kids write a better story.” This new video for Fields & Futures, created and produced by the team at Lampstand, tells a compelling story about how every child deserves the opportunity to have their moment … but without a field, there may be no moment.

Fields & Futures has already rebuilt eight fields for Oklahoma City Public Schools and has nine slated for 2015. With the community’s continued support, Fields & Futures will rebuild a total of 44 fields for the children of Oklahoma City.

Special thanks to the coaches and athletes at Webster Middle School, Roosevelt Middle School, U.S. Grant High School, Northwest Classen High School and Capitol Hill High School for their help telling this story.

If you are not already a member of the Fields & Futures Booster Club, we hope you will join today and help write a better story for our kids.

Thank you!

What Drives Capitol Hill and U.S. Grant Football?

U.S. Grant and Capitol Hill may be rivals, but their football programs have more in common than their annual "Southside Bedlam" rivalry game. From 2014-2020, the OSSAA allowed both programs to play as independents so they could create their own schedules and rebuild their programs. Now playing in Class 6A, neither team has found success in district play, but they also know the scoreboard isn't the only standard of success.
