Pictured on the new gym floor are Brenham ISD Superintendent Dr. Tylor Chaplin, Brenham Youth Basketball Director of Operations Johnathan Carnagey, Brenham ISD Director of Facilities and Maintenance Paul Aschenbeck, Triton Air President Brent Nedbalek, and Brenham Youth Basketball President Stephen Kruse.

The old Rock Gym is getting a makeover thanks to Brent Nedbalek and Triton Air Corporation.  The old gym has received a new floor finish, backboards, seating, bathrooms, and will soon have a new scoreboard thanks to Triton Air.  Brent Nedbalek got with the Brenham School District and asked how he could help the kids in the Brenham Youth Basketball League.  The result is all the improvements at the Rock Gym.  Crews from the Brenham School District have been busy over the past several months making improvements to the gym which was originally built in 1940.  The old Rock Gym is located on 6th Street next door to the Community Education Building in Brenham.

  1. Thank you Mr. Nedbalek for fueling the interest to maintain this historical building. You and Triton Air are greatly appreciated and respected for your contributions.

  3. What a kind and generous contribution to our children and the community. Thank you. Mr Nedbalek and Triton Air.

  6. Thanks Triton Air!!! Thanks for showing how existing buildings can be updated and made just like new again.

  7. Outstanding!!! Glad to see someone interested in fixing old buildings. Wonder if those “crews” could have worked on the Jr High? But taking nothing away from this fine effort. Congrats!!

    1. As I recall from one of the tours, groundwater seepage through masonry destroyed the gym floors in the basement level of the Junior High and they were replaced but seepage destroyed them again…because maintenance can’t fix the water table. It was a perfect example of BISD throwing good money after bad just to try and make do.
