The memorial...

   Established by the family of Harold "Pop" Keeney, a graduate of Bothell High School, Western Washington University and the University of Washington who had an outstanding coaching career in Western Washington, including Bothell High School.  The school district's athletic complex is named in his memory.

   Upon graduation from Bothell High School in 1920, Harold 'Pop' Keeney was asked by the townsfolk to become Bothell's first football coach. He was a member of one of Bothell's pioneer families. Pop coached the Cougars to the state finals in 1923 and after graduation from Western Washington University he returned to Bothell for coaching stints from 1931-34 and from 1945-46.

   Pop Keeney Field in Bothell carries his name. All three local high schools use the covered stadium for sporting events.  Years before the field was covered with Astroturf, a hardy band of daredevils would light the skies over Bothell on the Fourth of July, launching spectacular howitzer-strength fireworks over the stadium and overhead of delighted families spread out on their picnic blankets across the vast football-soccer field.
