The scoreboard is back up at Leopard Stadium, in a new, higher location as part of the ongoing stadium renovations there. The eventual hope is to add a video replay screen under the scoreboard in the coming years. More pressing, however, is the issue of the artificial turf installation at the stadium. Work is progressing quickly, but it’s going to be a race to the finish line to have the turf in place by the Leps’ home opener Sept. 3 against Canyon Lake. Photo by Jeff Wick
