GALLIPOLIS — Gallia Academy High School’s boys basketball team, coaches, former players and school administrators gathered for one last time prior to the final home game that was played in the present gym at 344 Fourth Ave., on Tuesday with the Jackson Ironmen.
The final home game marked an historic event, as it was the last time that the Blue Devils played in the present GAHS gym. The Blue Devils were victorious as the former players and a full house were on hand to watch the final game in the present gym.
The GAHS gym was dedicated on July 13, 1958, and has served as the home of the Blue Devils for the past 51 years.
Beginning next fall, the Blue Devils will be playing their home basketball games in the new Gallia Academy High School gymnasium at 2855 Centenary Road, as the new GAHS is on schedule to be opened in the fall of 2009.
