What is the enrollment at WM? I can't imagine why they ruined it with a fucking track though! Takes away a lotta the home field advantage that we enjoy at the HOG PEN!

Takes away a lotta the home field advantage that we enjoy at the HOG PEN! enrollment just under 2,300... but it's an old school (1953) and the original part of the stadium was built then. Unfortunately it's right in the middle of town and there is zero room to expand. Almost all of the land is covered in buildings, they had to buy out homes on 2 city blocks just to put in the tennis facility and last year they bought the church across the street to gain another block. We don't have room for a separate track facility. this one kinda gives you an idea what I'm talking about... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YOU SIR, need to have the West Monroe powers that be, adopt the Colquitt County Packer way! MOOOOVE the school three miles, to Doc Darbyshire Rd, where there is PLENTY of room to stretch your arms and legs! 2350 student high school, indoor practice facility, outdoor practice facility with Sprinturf, plus full track facilities, six tennis courts, three soccer fields, picnic pavilion/grill for baseball, baseball and softball field with warning tracks, and practice fields for both, and indoor batting cages!

Had that not happened West Monroe would easily be the largest high school in the state 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
