Bases loaded. Final inning. Final game. Up-to-bat and trailing, league-power Palisade (17-4 at the time) hopes to avoid a senior night home upset. Whack! A member of the No. 5-ranked Bulldogs drills one to shallow.

CENTRAL CITY â It all started when Brent Kennedy took a trip down the school gymnasium rabbit hole following what should have been a run-of-the-mill Central City Public Schools board meeting.
âWe had just bantered around about building a new gym,â Kennedy, a Central City Public Schools Board of Education member, recalled. âI stayed up almost all night because I was so excited.â
Click after click, keystroke after keystroke, images of top-notch gymnasiums appeared on Kennedyâs monitor.
Then he saw it.
âI came across these domes being built where tornadoes are really bad,â Kennedy said.
