The stadium at Hardin-Central has a new name. 

On Sept. 10, following Norborne Hardin-Central's 64-0 loss to North Shelby in varsity 8-man football, the facility was officially christened Gary O'Neal Stadium to honor the longtime coach and teacher, who won two state Class 1A 11-man football titles at Hardin-Central. Naming the stadium follows the christening of the football field as Lee Meador Field several years ago, done in tribute to the longtime Richmond News sports editor.

Here are some pictures from the ceremony, and the ballgame that preceded it, captured by sports editor Shawn Roney.
