Big Sandy will soon have a new basketball court. The crumbling and cracked concrete of the existing courts at the FE Miley Elementary School has been removed. A new, larger, 40 x 80 feet court will replace it. The court will have 2 sets of basketball hoops with steel backboards, one set at the 8 feet height, and the other at regulation, 10 feet height.
