The Pit court was created in the summer of 2000 at the residence of Chuck and Faye Giesy. Kenny King dug a flat piece of land into the bottom of the hill and Higgins Concrete poured the 65' x 42' pad. The Howell family created the Pit sign that sits on the west side of the court along what use to be the fence line. During the summer of 2004, lights were installed on the east side of the court. New hoops were installed the summer of 2010.
