FOR THE FIRST TIME in the history of the school, Maine West will play its football games at home. This was decided by the school board when they appropriated $45,000 to outfit the Warrior gridiron with new bleachers.
With three teams in the district, the school board was faced with a problem, "How could three teams, in three different conferences, play on one field?" It was decided at the March meeting of the board that the bleachers were the cheapest and easiest way to alleviate the situation. The field will not have lights.
