W.S. Scott Auditorium set to unveil new state-of-the-art scoreboard

The Tiger men's and women's basketball, volleyball, wrestling, cheer, and dance teams call W.S. Scott Auditorium home. The gym is also used for the annual Dodgeballah event and other community-related activities.

"This new scoreboard will create an enhanced and energetic atmosphere for competition while giving our fans a more engaging and enjoyable game-day experience," Cowley athletic director Jeff Fluty said. " It truly is an investment in our student-athletes, our devoted fan base, and the future of Cowley Athletics."

The family of Rob and Brooke Istas helped fund the scoreboard. The Istas family can be seen at numerous Tiger sporting events.

"Rob and Brooke Istas have consistently demonstrated an outstanding commitment and loyalty to Cowley Athletics and our student-athletes," Fluty said. "Their generous gift for the new center-hung scoreboard reflects The Tiger Way by investing in competitive excellence, celebrating the pride of success, and providing a first-class experience for our teams and fans. We are incredibly grateful for their continued support and the lasting impact they have on our athletic programs."

The Istas family hopes the new scoreboard will last well past their lifetime.

"As a longtime employee and former student, Cowley has been so important to me, and Rob was big in sports when he went to college," Brooke Istas said. "We felt the scoreboard would be a way to support the students and the community, too."
