Is Irving Stadium in the LISD?

I must have missed this in the AJ the other day. Gary Gaines, the former football coach of Odessa Permian, has been hired by the Lubbock Independent School District to be their new Executive Director of Athletics. Gaines won two state championships at Odessa in 1980 and '89. His 1988 season was captured in the book (and later the movie), Friday Night Lights. Don't really know what the E.D.of A. does or what sort of influence he has, but maybe no more athletes will have to feed the eagle.
