Then be sure to show up for the Board of Ed meeting on September 29th at 5:00 p.m. They will be taking comments from the community regarding turf fields for the high schools in St. Mary's. Go to Leonardtown High School Athletic Boosters Club for more info.

The schools need turf fields like I need a hole in the head. I think the county can find something better to spend that kind of money on.

And yes i have kids that use these fields.

I think that you will find in the long run, this will actually SAVE $$$$ for the school system. And the benefits will stretch beyond the scope of just the schools and the children that attend the high schools.

Like it or not, high school sports are becoming a competitive commodity that actually starts at the youth level. In order to protect the children, give them the same advantages that others are getting as well as increasing revenue for many entities (booster clubs, teams, community, the County, etc.), it is a necessary and vital course of action.

Come to the meeting on the 29th if you're so opposed. I'm betting you'd be in the minority.

Close to one million per field. This may not quite be the right time, ya think?
It is very enlightening to see the figures, especialy when you add in the multiple sports that use our fields are way over the recommended. So artificial turf is the way to go. However look at these numbers and how are you going to justify this kind of expense in today's economic environment?
Maybe if you threw in a conditioning center too...
BTW - I too have kids playing so I would like to see them use the same grade equipment as the pros.
Here's a good site:

RAY GUN Looks like that division 5 team from down south that won the virginia championship and st marys championship last year really learned something from their coach. How to get grades, good enough to play the next year,and how to win and lose games with pride. Congradulations to that pigskin coach and to coach griff,hope you have a great season.What was the name of that pigskin team can anyone help. On another note did you see any local games this weekend,what a terrible weekend does anyone down here teach quater back skills or secondary skills at all.My job is to get starters like Cliffort dukes,John duckett,players like this to play semi pro. In the games i watched so far one name stands out Vergill Dickerson 22 for chopticon a wounder to watch play maby with some blocking chopticon will win a game or two with this kid,and a new secondary.Great job Virgill player of the week.
