Construction Site of Legends
T hey're putting the finishing touches on a new outdoor athletic facility at Ph.'s high school, the oldest high school in Syracuse city. Right, just in time for his junior year, so the timing turned out to be pretty good for him. They're calling the complex "Field of Legends," which, considering it's never been tread upon means one of two things. Either the "Legends" part will be asserted when alums are basking in nostalgia over the feats accomplished on the old field (the worn pitch called "Old Rutty"?) or the "Legends" part will be determined by those who have yet to set foot on the field, like Ph. and his cohort. Or both. So it could mean three things.
What you should know: play will commence on the new turf field on Friday, September 7, for football, and on Saturday, September 8, for girls and boys soccer--all against the nearby prep school rival, Christian Brothers Academy. Doubtful I will be on hand for all of the fanfare, but you'll be sure to find me at the field for the boys soccer home opener vs. CBA under the lights on the 8th.
