A video board has recently been installed in the main gym at Lyman High School that flashes digital graphics and information during an event. The board will give the school an opportunity to have more interaction with the fans. During the recent Mid-Dakota Monster Tournament the board was used to show the matches taking place simultaneously in the auxiliary gym. A smart TV was installed in the commons area that will play the current event being broadcast on RaidersLive allowing spectators to leave the gym during a sporting event for concessions and still watch the action as they sit at a table to eat. The video board was purchased through the USDA RDLEGS Loan and Grant program.
