football stadium has undergone a major refurbishment: a new announcer’s

goal, a practice field for the JV players, a PA system and lights. The stadium
is used during home games only.
LAST WEEK’S PUZZLE SOLUTIONS ON PAGE 23
NHS baseball team has a brand new fence, two sections of bleachers, bat-
ting cages and a concession stand with bathrooms.
NHS boys’ lacrosse field has an irrigation system and gets watered daily.
The athletic budget is not being dispersed equitably.
Tennis is comprised of singles, doubles and mix doubles, which
means no more than four players on a court.
Practice for singles is not the same as practice for doubles. Therefore we
cannot put extra players on the court for practices which has been done for
the last three years because there were only four courts available at Dunkirk
District Park.
In the NHS June Patriot Press newsmagazine, it states “they turned old
NHS into a huge parking lot”. The parking spaces have doubled. NHS does
not need additional parking spaces. Northern High School needs to support
the tennis team by providing adequate tennis facilities to accommodate the
Varsity and JV tennis teams.
Every other NHS team that wins a States receives a ring. The fact that
the Girls Doubles tennis team did not receive a ring shows that tennis is an
afterthought for NHS. This needs to change.
