Rosman football players Neil Tesnow, Jonathan Holliday and Tanner Whitman.
Rosman will dedicate its field to the school’s first-ever football coach on Aug. 26.
Plans are for the natural grass surface inside Silversteen Stadium to be named officially the “William J. Coach Cathey Jr. Athletic Field.”
Cathey, 82, came to Rosman in 1958 and founded the football program shortly after that. He was later the principal for more than a dozen years.
Aug. 26 is the home opener for the Tigers and Transylvania County rival Brevard is the opponent. The pregame ceremony for Cathey will take place at 6:45 p.m.
