COFFEEVILLE–Yalobusha supervisors agreed to add more gravel around the Coffeeville School District’s new gym this summer following a request from Superintendent Eddie Anderson.
The commitment came after Anderson said parking at the new gym had been a problem during basketball season as neighboring teams traveled to Coffeeville to compete, especially during tournaments hosted by the Pirates.
