Borgia athletic complex shines The newly renovated athletic complex at St. Francis Borgia Regional High School in Washington boasts an eight-lane regulation track, synthetic turf surface, new press box and pavilion. The complex was blessed by school chaplain Father Kevin Schmittgens Sept. 3 before a crowd of almost 5,000 people assembled for the event and the Borgia-Clayton High School football game. The Borgia Knights won 32-28 in an exciting, come-from-behind victory in their first game on the new turf field. Borgia volunteers were honored during half time, and the Duane Haddox Memorial — named after the late dean of students and athletic director — was also dedicated that evening.
