Lookout Valley High School has taken center stage with a breathtaking update to its basketball court for 2025, and the transformation is turning heads across the region. Designed and crafted by the experts at Praters Flooring, the new court blends school pride, precision craftsmanship, and bold design elements into a permanent gym floor that’s as competitive as the athletes who play on it.

A Court That Reflects the Heart of Lookout Valley

The redesigned court reflects the fierce spirit of the Lookout Valley Yellow Jackets. At the center of it all is a sleek, modern LV logo, positioned boldly at midcourt and bordered with clean lines that convey strength and school identity. Complementing the central design is the updated Yellow Jackets mascot, meticulously painted in a custom Pantone yellow-tan color palette, giving the classic character a refreshed and energetic feel.

The mascot’s new look reinforces school pride and energizes the gym’s atmosphere—serving as both a symbol of tradition and a call to victory.

Game-Changing Design Features

What truly sets this new court apart is its innovative use of color and layout, starting with the deep, dark brown stain in the three-point areas. This striking design choice not only adds a layer of sophistication and contrast but also defines key gameplay zones for players and fans alike. The rich tone of the stain brings a unique identity to the court—blending seamlessly with the wood grain to create a high-end, polished aesthetic.

Praters Flooring’s use of stain and paint techniques ensures long-lasting durability while maintaining a smooth, playable surface that meets or exceeds performance standards. The transitions between the natural wood tones, dark-stained three-point arcs, and bold painted elements are seamless—demonstrating why Praters continues to be a trusted name in athletic flooring.

Built for Pride, Built to Perform

This upgrade is more than just a visual improvement—it’s a commitment to excellence. From practice sessions to high-stakes rivalries, the court now provides athletes with a high-quality surface that supports fast-paced movement, confident cuts, and smooth ball handling.

Coaches, players, and fans have already voiced their excitement over the new court. The energy in the gym is unmistakable, and the environment is now one that not only inspires performance but also honors school spirit and tradition.
