In the span of six years, Fields & Futures has completed renovations on 22 athletic fields across the Oklahoma City Public Schools (OKCPS) school district.

While our donors and community supporters help make our mission attainable, it’s Tommy Noble and Cimarron Construction that bring it to life.

Up until this summer, Noble has overseen the construction of three to four fields a year. With the school district’s Pathway to Greatness plan in place, Fields & Futures is responsible for building eight fields simultaneously.

That means Tommy Noble is overseeing the construction of eight new fields at the same time.

But for a guy who knows the impact sports can have on a young person’s life, it’s all in a day’s work.

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.
