Super Bowl Champ At Park Dedication Tonight

July 16, 2011

Two-time Super Bowl champion Anthony Pleasant will be in Century tonight as the town dedicates the sports facility that bears his name.

The Anthony Pleasant Sports Complex will be dedicated at 6 p.m.  The celebration will include free hot dogs and soft drinks.

The 22 -acre park was named after Century native  Pleasant (pictured), a former pro football player selected in the third round of the 1990 NFL Draft by the Cleveland Browns.  During his 14 year NFL career, Pleasant played for the Browns, the Baltimore Ravens, the Atlanta Falcons, the New York Jets, the San Francisco 49ers and the New England Patriots. He played a total of 202 NFL games and racked up 58 sacks and two interceptions.

The 1986 Century High School graduate earned two Super Bowl rings with the New England Patriots. Pleasant is currently the defensive line coach for the NFL’s Kansas City Chiefs.

Anthony Pleasant Park is located off Highway 4 just east of North Century Boulevard; turn right after crossing the railroad tracks.

    I don’t know you but keep up the good work! I hope some of the other young men will see the light within you and it will inspire them to do something positive with their lives.
